By ‘Form’ Plato meant the idea of something. For example, if you say ‘Look ! There’s a cat’, you have some idea of what a cat is and you can recognise lots of different types of cats. All the different types of cats embody the Form of a cat; some set of chara cteristics that resemble the idea of what a cat is. The Form of anything is not physical but is the eternal idea of what a thing is.
