Read the excerpt from "The Golden Cat."

Great is the Golden Cat who treads

The Blue Roof Garden o'er our heads,

The never tired smiling One

That Human People call the Sun.

He stretches forth his paw at dawn

And though the blinds are closely drawn

His claws peep through like Rays of Light,

To catch the fluttering Bird of Night.

What is the meaning of the figurative language in lines 1 and 2?

The yellow cat walks through the garden.

The cat likes to jump high up off the ground.

The sun travels across the sky.

The sun looks like a cat in the sky.
