[@ethanlivemere1162]

Who's up fattening their beast rn

[@meks039]

"Fatten the beast" is actually three words of sheer literary genius. The use of the word "fatten" is reminiscent of how a farmer might fatten an animal for slaughter, implying that the human here is fattening the cat for slaughter, a cunning plan to rid their presence of it. On the contrary, the cat is referred to as "the beast", a word which attributes great power to it, suggesting that it holds a certain amount of power in the dynamic, and that the humans may be somewhat fearful of it. Combined, these few words construct a detailed relationship between cat and owner, in which the fearful, subservient humans have hatched a plan to "fatten" and hence slaughter the cat to be free of its possibly tyrannical rule.

[@e2b265]

In the second, the cat is not more powerful than the owner, it simply denotes the cat’s power and the owner’s power over it, with a similar, but more complex dynamic to the first, providing a more full understanding of the situation and better prepares one for the task at hand.
