You stroke dear Cat and slip from your home

[kadioguy]

[From a children's book called Only a Witch Can Fly]

You stroke dear Cat and slip from your home,
your home in the woods by the fire,
cauldron and hat, brown velvet Bat,
the too small robe you once wore.

I don't really understand this part. Does it read this way?

You stroke dear Cat and slip from your home,
(your home in the woods by the fire,)
(and slip past) cauldron and hat, brown velvet Bat,
(and slip past) the too small robe you once wore.

It doesn't make sense to me-- especially "in the woods by fire" makes no sense.

I can't tell if she's talking to the cat or about the cat. (I think the cat is probably smarter than she is.)

Yes, this is extra information about the home.

(and slip past) cauldron and hat, brown velvet Bat,

No. This is yet more description of the home. It has all those things.

(and slip past) the too small robe you once wore.

No. This is more information about either the home or the witch herself.
