Read the excerpt from "How a Cat Played Robinson Crusoe.”
Something had rustled the grass heavily, and she trailed it,
expecting a particularly large, fat marsh mouse. When she
pounced upon an immense old ship's rat, she got badly bitten.
Such an experience had never before happened to her. At first
she felt so injured that she was on the point of backing out and
running away. Then, the fire of far-off ancestors awoke within
her. She flung herself furiously into the fight, and the struggle
was soon over.
Which type of conflict does the cat face?
Individual versus individual
Individual versus self
Individual versus nature
Individual versus society
