I believe that this poem is referring to the difficult situations that we as humans cannot see through, like we cannot see through 'fog'. These situations, sometimes sneak up on us like 'little cat feet'. The situation hangs over our heads, 'it sits looking'. But, eventually, 'moves on'.

In elementery school, the nuns would have your come to the front of the class and recite a poem you had memorized. Fog was the shortest one I could find, since I didn't like being up at the front of the class.
The nun didn't fall for my tactic and made me do another. Oh, well, I tried. To this day, I am still a cat lover.
