We know cats dream but not what they dream about. But it would make sense to me that anthropomorphic cats- cat-human hybrids, giant cats that walk around like people, people with cat heads- would be a very common cat dream trope. So something they have only seen before in the chased-by-the-catpeople trying-to-turn-them-into-a-catperson nightmares they remember having all the time as a kitten. They haven’t had one of those dreams for years. Feeling quite secure that catperson is not real and catperson can’t hurt them. And then…
I always assume they dream of world domination. When they’re awake they realize it’s not feasible because they’re too small and don’t have the opposable thumbs needed to operate tools.
So maybe the cat is freaked out because he thinks this cat person is an existential threat to all life on Earth.
