In this chapter, we learn that the cat's feelings for the man in question are finally coming out, and that he's not a "gentleman" like the other men in the room. He's a "puppet" , which is a fancy way of saying a person who's about to do something that's going to make you want to jump up and grab him. The cat, however, doesn't want to be a puppet, so he tells us that he and the man are going to go to his mom's house one day, where they'll be able to "see the stars" together.
