Excerpt from Widow Wiggins's Wonderful Cat (excerpt)
Edward Eggleston

Widow Wiggins was a wee, wiry, weird woman, with a wonderful cat -- a very wonderful cat, indeed!

The neighbors all said it was bewitched. Perhaps it was; I don't know; but a very wonderful cat it was. It had a strange way of knowing, when people were talking, whether what they said was right or wrong.

If people said what they ought not to say, wee Widow Wiggins' wonderful cat would mew. Perhaps the cat had lived so long with the wee, wiry, weird widow woman, who was one of the best in the world, that it had gotten her dislike to things that were wrong.

But the wee widow's neighbors were afraid of that cat.

When Mrs. Vine, a very vile, vinegar-tongued, vixenish virago, abused her neighbors to the wee, wiry, weird, widow woman, the Widow Wiggins' wonderful cat would mew. And so the vile, vixenish virago wished the cat was dead.

And when slender, slim, slippery Sly Slick, Esq., tried to persuade the widow to swindle her neighbor, the cat mewed furiously. And so it came that Mr. Slick did not like the wee widow's wonderful cat. In fact, he said it was a nuisance.

And Tilda Tattle, the tiresome-tongued, town tale-bearer, could not abide the cat, because it mewed all the time she was tattling.
When the cat is called "wonderful," what does this mean?

A) the cat is sweet-natured and pleasant
B) the cat is pretty and well-trained
C) the cat is holy and blessed
D) the cat knows when people are doing bad things
