Cat Stevens

mammal. It appeared to be of the feline family and I determined it as nice. I chose this interesting lifeform because it appears to be so advanced but overlooked. After some quick research, my brother and I identified it as a domestic cat (whose name might be Jack). The cat has organs depicting him as a male but he doesn’t have any front claws which is very interesting. After observing his actions for a while, we noticed that he doesn’t pee or engage sexualy activity on random…

other as if they were old close friends. She tilted her head and examined them. There were stains scattered all over them, their fabric was a faded chocolate brown, their buttons were hanging by a frayed thread, the fabric was ripped and torn as if a cat did some kitty claw needle point.

That cat mentioned at the beginning of the poem symbolizes how the fog approaches “on little cat feet” and then sits on “silent haunches” before “mov[ing] on” (Sandburg 899). The fog moves in the same way that a cat does and behaves like a cat, too, meaning its movements are unpredictable and mysterious. The reader is not sure where the fog is going or what it is…

prefrontal cortexes, but larger than ones of other animals. The cerebellum for both the fox and dog are about the same size and fairly large for an animal.
