To me, it used human in place of domesticated cats. In reality people pick up cats, be they off the street, adoption or bred, the cats are animals that want sex just like most other living beings and this causes problems, so they get sterilized by humans. Then some owners grow bored and off the cat goes.
The master was cruel, his pet became dependent on him and he threw him away and let some one else deal with the problems that arise from owning a cat, plenty of cats in animal homes looking for owners or abandoned due to such attitudes.
