When Soto says, “With a meow Like a rusty latch On a gate” he compares the weak cat’s “meow” to a rusty latch on a gate.

Cats are not very big, or loud. If in the case of an intruder, a cat would not be much help as it could not be loud enough to either scare the intruder away or to wake the owner. Cats are far more likely to avoid any kind of danger coming their way, and most likely would not help ward off any unwanted threats. Dogs, on the other hand, can grow to be much larger than cats. Dogs are much more alert, and will bark or growl at anything they might see as a threat on the outside of the house.
