"The Golden Cat" is a poem written by Oliver Herford and "The Cat and the Moon" was written by W. B. Yeats.
Some similarities between the two poems are:
- The presence of cats in both poems.
- In both poems, the use of personification is present. Personification is giving a thing human attributes. An example from the Golden Cat is: "the brown Hay smiles back at him". One from the Cat and the moon is: "Maybe the moon may learn, tired of that courtly fashion, a new dance turn".
- The use of imagery is also present in both poems. Imagery is the use of figurative language to provide descriptions that appeal to human senses. One examples of this in The Golden Cat is: "His face is one big golden smile". This extract appeals to the visual sense. "The pure cold light in the sky" in the Cat and the Moon appels to the visual sense.
