The mom, Joan, gives her kids a set of rules before she leaves for work. (God gives Adam and Eve a commandment to not eat of the fruit of the tree of good and bad)
Conrad lives for breaking rules, where Sally is more of a goody to shoes yet shortly followed Conrad. (Eve was enticed to break God's commandment, Adam shortly followed after)
Conrad and Sally were easily seduced by the Cat. (The cat is Symbolic for the devil.)
The kids want the cat to stay. (Symbolic of our inclination to sin, despite our desire to do good.)
The fish (a constant reminder of the commandments God sent forth.)
Thing 1 and Thing 2 (Symbolic for demons)
"Alec Baldwins character is Jesus trying to get things right by Joan, and the military school is actually "baptism" for conrad." - thejeremx
Even though the Cat enticed the kids to break the rules and have them follow their own rules, he in the end helps them clean up. (Symbolic for death, death washes sins away, in the end, cleaned up.)
