THIS IS FOR PAYNELOVE19!!!

Read the excerpt from the poem "Queen of the Cats":

Old Polly was a cat of unusual grace,
With wide, yellow eyes and thin stripes on her face.
My wife took her in on a cold, autumn night,
While the north wind played the weather vane foul.

The old iron rooster screeched at the slight.

What is the meaning of the phrase the old iron rooster screeched at the slight?

The old iron rooster is announcing the dawn.
The old iron rooster is being moved by the wind.
The old iron rooster is screaming in anger.
The old iron rooster is welcoming the north wind
