In the Five Elements theory, cats are not clearly attributed to any one of the Five Elements. The Five Elements theory includes metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and is used to describe the relationship between various things and phenomena in nature and human life.

However, there is no fixed consensus or tradition to attribute cats to one of the five elements. The Five Elements Theory is mainly used to explain and classify other things, and there is no clear provision for the classification of animals. As an animal, the characteristics and attributes of cats do not directly correspond to the relationship between the five elements.
