Metaphor is the figure of speech used in the passage.

Explanation:

  • A metaphor is a very important figure of speech. It draws a comparison of one thing with another in a very implicit manner.  A metaphor is used to express a hidden meaning or a symbolic representation.  
  • A metaphor always helps in creating a image be it visual, sound, smell, movement or of touch.  In the given sentence 'little cat feet' is the metaphor.  
  • The movement of the fog is being compared to the stealth, soundless and lithe movement of a cat.
  • A cat moves most silently. Its feet are agile and soft.  No one can sense the movement of a cat.  Similarly, the fog too moves like a cat silent and soft.
