The poet advises women, if your lover does not looking after you and is indifferent to you then you should not get angry on them but show a different behavior. For that you need to practice and the best way to practice is to pet a cat.
The story of poem begins with poet who says pet a cat if you want to deal with the otherness of your lover. Here poet is asking women to keep a cat because Cats are completely different animal. While dogs are socialize animal, they understand us and obey our orders but cats shows indifferent behavior they doesn’t care about Human and they have Royalty.
Cats are indifferent as they are not much attracted to humans and as well as they are very modest. So whoever keep a cat they also tolerate their tantrums.
