British's two oppressive policies:

(i) No, it's not a cat Macavity. The cat is just the master criminal's depiction.
(ii) The poet wasn't talking about Macavity as a cat. He has just provided a poetic form to use the cat to refer to a fierce and very smart criminal. As a cat does, he commits the crime in a cunning, quiet way.
