Reference: These words are from the poem, “ Macavity – the mystery cat, written by T.S. Eliot.

Context: The poet says this about the daring acts of evil done by enigmatic villainous cat Macavity.

Explanation: Scotland yard police is unable to arrest Macavity as he leaves no evidence of crime he commits. He has many agents whose operations are controlled by him. Macavity is like military despot Napoleon, he guides all wicked cats in London unseen. 

Comment: There is indeed no difference between Napoleon and Macavity.
