The narrative explores the complex relationship between the narrator, Ismay, and their Aunt Cynthia regarding cats. While Max blesses the animals, the narrator reflects on the distress caused by a particular cat, contrasting their indifference towards felines with Ismay's outright dislike. Aunt Cynthia's unwavering affection for cats leads her to misinterpret the feelings of the narrator and Ismay, believing they secretly enjoy them. This tension highlights themes of misunderstanding and the subjective nature of affection towards animals.
