The cat
joins the Wild Comrades' Re-education committee. This committee, organized by , is dedicated to
taming wild animals, such as rats, rabbits, and sparrows, though it is not very successful. The
cat joins it in the hopes she can catch wild animals for a meal by gaining their trust. For
instance, she is seen one day trying to persuade some sparrows that since they are her comrades
now, they can come and safely perch on her paw. The sparrows, wisely, stay out of her way and
don't take her up on the offer.
The cat is not a helpful participant on . In
the old days, whenwould talk to the animals about the revolution to come, she didn't pay
attention, and she shirks doing work after the revolution occurs. She disappears during the day
and always has an excuse for why she was missing. However, the cat does her part during the
Battle of the Cowshed when she leaps on a cowman and sinks her claws into his neck, causing him
to scream.
The cat, an individualist and a loner, as cats tend to be,
represents the kind of person who in real life is never going to be able to become enthusiastic
about a revolution or the idea of working together in solidarity with others to achieve a
goal.
