This was an episode that I'd listened to a long while ago. I wasn't a fan of it then, and admittedly, I'm still not a fan of this one.

While I find it to be one of Fred Gwynne's finer performances, the story itself just never grabbed me. I think it is in part the RMT's fault... whenever they decide to feature a cat in an episode, the cat always sounds silly. Maybe unnatural is a better word. That could work, I suppose, but I find it grating.

Kind of like Mercedes McCambridge in Stephanie's Room when she puts on a "little girl" voice... her voice was just not convincing; the cat in this episode was distacting for me.

Also, the idea that two witches would fight over a man is just a bit odd. I mean, women who are serious in the art in the craft are typically quite independent as well as self-sufficient, and do not regard men as terribly necessary. So, for them to "fight" over a man seemed a bit of a stretch.

I should add that I'm highly allergic to cats, so as soon as I began listening, my eyes got red and I began sneezing. inkietoo:

Not a bad show, but just not one of my personal favorites. I gave it a 4.0, as it was well performed (except that cat!) and produced.

A good choice for show! Thank you!!!!
