First of all, I would like to say that this song is beautiful. As peopledontdance said nicely "you want your music to be as sad as you are" is so true. Andy has always wrote very touching and interesting songs, but this, for some reason or another, hits the bottom of the listeners heart.
I believe that this song, as a whole, is meant to portray one's life in this cruel word. he is trying to say that, as humans, we do not live particularly great lives, tahat we must understand that. We constantly have others telling us to do something or another, trying to manipulate us to believe whatever the other person does. The idea with the cat is that there is beauty in this world, all we have to do is search for it and hold on to it, keep it in ours eyes as long as we can.
