It's easy to be fooled by outward looks, like in the poem "Queen of the Cats." An innocent-looking cat by the name of Old Polly looks to be a sweetheart. On closer investigation, though, it becomes apparent that she is a clever and devious feline. As far as I can tell, she's been a good buddy to the other cats she's lived with. The truth is, her ultimate allegiance is to herself. She takes advantage of the other cats that come to her for aid. At the end of the story, she is shown to be a selfish monster who uses people to get what she wants.
