Best Answer

In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat", the white patch on the second cat represents the narrator's ever increasing madness and guilt for his deeds. Although he believes the Horror of his situation is external, and the black cat is some supernatural manifestation, the horror is actually internal to him.

What does the symbol of a black cat mean on a desert rat's uniform?

The 7th Armoured Division, aka "Desert Rats", wore a patch that was a BLACK square with a RED rat with a long tail. There was also a Brigade that wore a similar patch with a GREEN desert rat image. The square RED patch with a silouette of a BLACK cat is the patch for the 56th 'North London' Infantry Division. I think this is the patch that you refer to. For an example of this patch, see this link. http://www.custermen.com/ItalyWW2/ArmyOrg/BritishOrg.htm
