it seemed like Vonnegut wrote cats cradle to show how the world ca lead to their own destruction without being aware of what they are doing..just like when Angela used ice nine to get her husband and Newt used ice nine for a vacation and Frank also used it to benifit himself..nobody thought of the outcome and they eventually led to the worlds downfall( Destruction)
