Explanation:
sin más contexto, me da la impresión que podria ser que "ante la desfiguración todos los gatos en Alemanía huirían despavoridos"

se indignarian


Explanation:
Lo primero que se me ocurrio al ver tu texto fue la expresion 'subirse por las paredes', de ahi que una posible interpretacion sea esta, los otros 'cats' (me temo que no se nada de ellos) estarian llenos de indignacion -y odiarian a cualquiera que no coincidiera con sus sentimientos- hacia ese otro que se atreve a presentarse despues de estar tan 'espiritualmente desfigurado'
