'Tom-Cat' Summary
The Tom-Cat is a series of poems narrated by Archy, a philosophical cat who writes using a typewriter. Archy's perspective is one of humor and cynicism, offering astute commentary on the human condition. He reflects on the joys and frustrations of life, from his own experiences as a cat to broader observations on love, death, and the complexities of human society.
