The cat symbolizes Zeena when she is not there. Edith Wharton used the Fromes’s cat to embody Zeena’s presence. The cat is usually there to come between Ethan and Mattie just like Zeena does.

However, while discussing her narrative Zeina stated “I am not actually sure about this, but I included it in my essay anyway,” Upon further research, neutering does not affect cats medically in any positive way. In fact, neutering cats, only improves their behavior and can create rare medical complications and side-effects (Pros and Cons of Spaying and Neutering in Cats). Also, Zeina stated that she discovered that her kitten was simply having erections, rather than a medical issue, from a website titled “Kitten Erections: Are They Normal?” However, she later admitted that she did not remember what website she learned about cat erections on, so simply made up the title.
While a child may laugh at the humorous image, the image represents the external conflict of the danger to the Fish.

Onychectomy, or declawing, is a surgical procedure to remove cat’s claws, usually for reasons convenient to the owner. Many people support the declawing of cats for the protection of their furniture and children. Cat claws can quickly tear up furniture and scratches often make people sick.

The picture of having many cats in her house does not mean that she is lonely or in need of new friends.
