The figurative language encourages the theme that the sun is something alive, dynamic and that interacts with humans.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The theme of the poem is that the sun is so important to humans that it interacts with them like a living thing.
- For this reason, the author compares the sun to a cat that steps on roofs and presents a dynamism with humans.
- This enhancement with humans is so strong that the author uses personification to show the cat representing the sun, doing things that only humans do.
An example of personification used in the poem can be seen in the line "The never tired smiling One/That Human People call the Sun."
