Any small animal in a dream, including a baby animal, especially those that are associated with pets, are common fertility symbols, associated with babies or children, because we want to care for and/or treat them like a child.  Small or baby animals in dreams are common symbols for pregnant women or those who want to conceive. A common dream for women is  “birthing” a small or baby animal, especially cats!  If a small or baby animal is aggressive, scratches you, or jumps on you, it may reflect mixed feelings regarding the desire for children. Neglecting a pet in a dream can reflect concerns that you are not attending to an interest or goal of having children. A dream of a small or baby animal dying may reflect anxiety about the prospect of parenthood.
