As the trip is under way she believes she is in another state, and mistakes a road for another one. She tells her family how there is a large house, with pillars on the front porch and how she’d love to visit it once more. As they head to the house, the cat she had snuck into the car, leapt from the basket and into the front seat causing the wreck. If she would have either not gone, or just left the cat at the house, nothing would have happened. “…she was hiding a basket with Pitty Sing, the cat, in it.” (O’Connor 368).
Doug’s response to setting his mother’s cats on fire was ‘It was the fault of the psychiatrist...he told me I had an unresolved problem with my mother... and I better fix it’.

She hadn’t moved. Too scared I was going to snip everything except her hair’. The final monologue (spoken by Lewis) at the end of the play summarises the future of the patients, Nowra is able to comment on how bad things happen to good people simply because they are given the title of being ‘mad’.

Isobel’s final quest for identity and change leads her to Mrs Adams house (Isobel’s next door neighbour during her childhood), Isobel finds out that her parents lied to her in order for her to be scared of Mrs Adams after Isobel wrote a poem about her cat. Mrs Adams tells Isobel that she loved the poem and that her cat ‘Smoke’ later died and followed with ‘’well, nothing lasts for ever, as they say.’’ Isobel replies with ‘’I hope they are right’’ implying that Isobel hopes the mental pain inflicted by her mother will not bother her any longer.

She doesn’t have any deep loves and doesn’t let anyone make a slave of her.” (De Jesus, p. 135) In the cat, Carolina sees the value she prizes most in herself: independence.
