Answer: C.The cat is on the speaker’s pillow, moving around and purring, which keeps the speaker awake.

The simile works because the poem is comparing the cat and the pillow. The cat is trying to sleep in the same bed as the owner, and lies down close to the pillow. That is what the line "the pillow quakes and quivers" refers to. It is in fact talking about the cat. The constant moving around and purring keeps the author awake.
