Verses like “His eyes green as ringstones: he yawns wide red” and “Fangs fine as a lady’s needle and bright” help describe the cats appearance and some distinguishing features such as his bright green, glaring eyes, cruel and icy; and his sharp fangs ready to tear into the tom-cats helpless

Page 1 of 3 English Standard: Assessment Task No 5 The poem, ‘Lady Feeding the Cats’ conveys distinct images of a poor, old woman who cares for stray cats in the Domain that challenges widely held assumptions such as the coexistence with ‘beauty’ and ‘ugly’. “Proudly… they march together with an arching of backs”. Anthropomorphism is used within the cats, which connects the readers emotionally to the text by conveying that cats are not as different as humans themselves. The formed image within the reader of the cats which “march together with an arching of backs” prompts the reader to be reminded of an army of soldiers proudly marching towards the enemy.
