how does the poet describe the fog as if it were a living being?

The poet gives the fog a sense of movement and liveliness through his use of animal imagery. The fog is visualised as coming on little 'cat' feet, it looks over the harbor and city and then moves away, as if its on haunches. He weaves together the sense of movement and makes it animal like to make the fog come across as a living being.
