Meaning
A cat with kittens is one of the warmest and most “domestic” images in dreams. It is almost always connected with the theme of motherhood, care, and the protection of the vulnerable. The mother cat in this image embodies a nurturing, tender principle — whether your literal maternal role or your care for something precious and fragile.
The number of kittens is often significant: many kittens speaks of many small tasks and worries; one or two — focused care for a specific matter or person. The cat’s behavior is no less important: calm and attentive to her young — harmony; agitated or aggressive — anxiety for someone close.
This dream frequently comes in periods when something new and fragile is entering life — the start of a project, the birth of an idea, the arrival of a new person.

Details
Pay attention to the setting: where was the cat with the kittens — in your home, on the street, or in an unfamiliar place? A home setting reinforces the theme of family and comfort. The street — something personal is entering the public space or needs protection from the outside world.
