Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "metaphor" as "an expression, often found in literature, that describes a person or object by referring to something that is considered to have similar characteristics to that person or object."

In the poem "Fog" by Carl Sandburg, the poet employs the use of metaphor to compare the fog to a cat who stealthily appears from somewhere and disappears without being detected by anybody.
