Question

(a) Why does the poet use the metaphor of cat?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The poet beautifully captures those moments when the fog came moving in over the harbour waters. The poet gives a powerful image of the fog through a metaphorical cat. The poet sees the fog as a cat that comes on its tiny, silent feet, as cats do while they are stalking.

Answer 2

The poet uses the metaphor of the cat because the fog changes into a cat and the cat morphs back into the fog.
