Read the passage from chapter 1 of Animal Farm.

Question

Last of all came the cat, who looked round, as usual, for the warmest place, and finally squeezed herself in between Boxer and Clover; there she purred contentedly throughout Major's speech without listening to a word of what he was saying.

What does this excerpt tell us most about the cat?

She sleeps a lot.
She is content.
She feels cold.
She is unconcerned.

Answer 1

The excerpt most clearly indicates that the cat is unconcerned. The cat's behavior of looking for the warmest place and purring contentedly while not paying attention to Major's speech suggests a lack of interest in the events taking place and a focus on her own comfort rather than the discussions or concerns of the other animals.
