What does the cat represent in Buddhism?

In Buddhism, cats have multiple symbolic meanings. On the one hand, cats are sometimes used to represent people who are ignorant of the Dharma, or those who only focus on the external form and fail to understand the essence of the Dharma. This metaphor reflects the importance that Buddhism places on wisdom and inner practice.

On the other hand, cats, as the only animals allowed to enter the temple, also symbolize their special status in Buddhist culture. This may be related to the Buddhist concept of equality of all living beings and the deep emotional bond between cats and humans.
