Not strictly true ... you have a verb and two nouns (one object, one
subject), therefore you can construe a unit of sense, in this case "cat mat
sat", they are in order, and since we know from experience that mats have
difficulty sitting anywhere (especially on cats) we can assume that the cat
is doing the sitting (being the animate object in the sentence, and
therefore the subject of the verb "to sit")
