i think the fog represents the problems one can have sometimes in their
life. Perhaps the problem(s) can creep up you silently like a cat, linger
in your life and on your mind and then move on when it feels like it. you
can't control it, just like the weather.

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.

Cat - silent - here now; present, changes our surroundings, indifferent,
leaves without a trace

It is a beauty to see the poet compare rather personify fog to a cat.
The immediate feeling that one gets at the very utterance of the word 'fog'
is lack of definitude and opacity. But the personificatio of fog to a cat
gives it a new dimension, aesthetics...???
Although it envelopes vast area, from harbor to the city, yet it does not
come with a fanfare as flood or tsunami would. It comes silently "on cat
feet".
Like a true feline it is "aloof" and "unsocial" (coldness of heart???). it
silently watches the area under its spell and moves on further.
Does it in anyway suggest of coldness in human relationships? Response will
be appreciated

Growing up in the Virgin Islands We don't have much fog. So as a child
reading the FOG, as simple as it is, gave me a vision of fog acting like a
cat of which i had several.
