Reference: These words are from the poem, “Macavity – the mystery cat”.

Context: T.S. Eliot says these words while discussing the deceitfulness and the ability of the wicked cat to disappear room after a crime is committed.

Explanation: The poet describes the attributes of the mystery cat “ Macavity the cat is deceitful • and he baffles Scotland yard. The modus operandi of each unsolved crime points to Macavity only. But the lack of evidence like foot print prevents Scotland yard police from arresting him. Hence, he is called “The Hidden Law”.

Comment: Does Macavity truly have an unseen paw?
