===The Cat===
Although Holly tries to act like the cat doesn't really matter to her as a posession, she really does feel that it belongs to her. Holly never really admits this fact until she leaves the cat, then can't find it. "Oh Jesus God. we did belong to eachother. He was mine." (Capote 109) The cat is one of the few things that holly truly feels is hers. Everytime the cat appears in the story he seems to be the exact opposite of Holly, or acting in a complete opposite manner as Holly. "Her at losing her nameless, battered "slob" of a cat, far from being a sentimental excess on her part (and the narrator's), is an intensly serious expression of profound fear of relinquishment." (Nance)
