The cat was hesitant about moving over the jamcloset at first, like a human might be when faced with an obstacle and needs to move forward in life. Once he gets over the obstacle, the cat is now stuck in an empty flower pot and would find it difficult to get out. Just as a human when overcoming an obstacle can be stuck in a difficult situation.
