Question

summary of Macavity: The Mystery Cat​

Answer 1

This poem describes the story of a mystery cat, Macavity. Macavity is a fictional character and depicts the actions of the crooks. He is also known as ‘Hidden Paw’. He is a notorious criminal, spy, and a trickster and openly disobeys the laws. Macavity is a mastermind and leaves no evidence after committing the crime. Thus, the Scotland Yard Police is also helpless. The Flying Squad has also never succeeded in catching him as he runs faster than them.

The poet says that Macavity is unique. He not only breaks the human laws but also the laws of nature. He can float in the air without any support and thus, breaks the gravitational law of nature. It is said that the fakirs have some magical powers but even they look at him in surprise.

Answer 2

Answer:

Macavity is a mystery cat. He is the master criminal. He can defy and break any law. Even the police force and Flying Squad of England have failed to arrest him. He gives a slip to them. When the police reach the scene of crime, it is too late. The criminal by that time is gone.

Macavity is matchless in his field. He can do any impossible task. He can disappear. He can break Newton’s law of gravity and float in the air without support. Even the fakir and the magician are surprised to see his feats. He will outwit you. You may look for him in the basement and in the air, you will have no access to him.

Macavity is a tall and thin cat. His eyes are sunken, and his head is lined. His head is round like a dome. His coat is soiled and his hair is in disorder. He moves like a snake. When you think he is sleeping, he is, in fact, wide awake.

Macavity is a devil in cat’s shape. He is morally corrupt. You can meet him in a lane and in open grounds. But you will not find him where the crime has been committed.
