What is the setting, point of view and rhyme pattern?

The cat and the wind: A small wind blows across the hedge into the yard. The cat cocks her ears - multitudinous rustling and cracking all around- her pupils dwindle to specks in her yellow eyes the stare first upward and then on every side unable to single out any one thing to pounce on, for all together, as if orchestrated, twigs, leaves small pebbles pause in their shifting, their rubbing against each other. She is still listening when the wind is already three gardens off

1. Setting = Someone's front yard, on a windy day. Most likely, the season is Fall because there are twigs and leaves on the ground. I know the leaves and twigs are on the ground and not just on the tree because they are interacting with small pebbles. Point of view = A cat, who is searching for something to hunt. Rhyme Pattern = If you think anything in this poem rhymes, you should stop smoking whatever you are smoking.
