This was one of the first RMT's I ever heard. It's a fun little, supernatural tale. Has some good "creepy" moments, especially when Holly is transformed into a feline assassin herself. The end has a nice poetic twist to it, where Kitty meets her downfall at the "paws" of a canine.

Unlike Mr. Miller though, I'm a cat lover, but sometimes you do have to wonder if there's more to them than meets the eye (assuming they haven't been scratched out yet!).

A good double feature is to listen to "The Tenth Life" with this episode! It's another creepy "Cat Lady" tale with supernatural overtones.

Kurt brought up an interesting point about actors with similar voices preforming in the same episode. I thought Bob Kaliban and Russell Horton sounded different enough in this episode that it worked just fine, but in the aforementioned "If I Can't Have You"-- I had real problems following the story the first time through, 'cause Kaliban and Horton (playing contemporaries) were very difficult to differentiate. Another episode with the same problem, that really drove me nuts was "Ghost at High Noon" with Celeste Holm and Frances Sternhagen. I gave up trying to figure out who was speaking to whom. Both episodes I enjoyed, but this situation was distracting.

Speaking of voices, I also enjoy the "cameos" by Himan Brown. It's fun to listen for them-- sort of like looking for Alfred Hitchcock in his movies. Growing up I always wondered who this uncredited actor was, who occasionally popped up in RMT-- It wasn't 'til years later, during the NPR revival-- I finally put 2 and 2 together!
