Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains spoilers for this episode!
Synopsis: Unable to deal with his wife’s boredom, Oliver (Eddie Albert) arranges for Lisa (Eva Gabor) to become the head of a humane society which leads to even more trouble.
Kitty Cameos: Lisa takes her new position very seriously and Oliver comes home to find the house full of animals. Included in the massive menagerie are several cats.
There are also cats in the kitchen.
The cats are featured in one joke in which Lisa complains to Oliver, “Do you know what those cats did with my hotcake stew? They buried it in their sandbox!” “They’re smarter than they look!” Oliver replies.
Several of the cats appear to have been used in various shots. A Siamese cat is seen several times, appearing on a chair in the living room, the refrigerator in the kitchen and on the porch with Lisa.
A white cat and tuxedo cat are seen above the mantel in the living room and also on the small chair and bench during the sandbox joke.
The cats, as well as the other animals, were provided by Frank Inn.
Final Mewsings: Cats will let you know what they think of the food you serve them.
