The cat you see is scraping some fish off the road for breakfast.
The cat got a whole fish from the rubbish bin and took it there to eat: middle of the road in a car park.
A car came along and as the cat was reluctant to move, the driver very carefully inched the car forward. He didn't see the cat moving out of the way so he reversed the car until he saw the cat again. The cat had moved out of the way but now it came back.
The driver then drove to the right then the left as he tried to ensure he didn't kill or injure the cat. He was successful: the cat survived!
What the driver did do was to drive over the fish that the cat left on the road. Hence flat fish but not flat cat!
