This review contains a Kitty Carnage Warning!
Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: A psychotic girl named Diana (Carol Lynley) tries to coerce a professional golfer named Jerry (Paul Burke) to swap murders.
Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): At the beginning of the film Diana is in a beach house. An orange tabby cat is lying on a television as she enters.
Diana pours herself some milk then walks over to the cat and kisses him.
Diana walks away to put on some music and when she looks back and sees the cat is drinking her milk.
“Sweet little pussycat,” she sighs as she walks over and picks up the cat, “always taking what doesn’t belong to you. And after all my warnings!”
She carries the cat to the refrigerator. “But you love your milk, don’t you? And when somebody loves something you just naturally want it all, don’t you?”
She opens up the refrigerator. “Well, here’s a lot of ice cold milk for you. All you can drink!”
Kitty Carnage Warning! She tries to shove the cat into the refrigerator but it fights back, scratching her.
The cat runs away and Diana actually grabs a kitchen knife and acts like she is going to give chase. Thankfully she stops.
After this you would think the cat would not come back again, but the cat is sitting comfortably next to her in a later scene when she is re-recording some audio to frame Jerry.
Funnily enough, near the end of the film Diana is reading a book entitled “How to Train Your Cat.”
Final Mewsings: Cats shouldn’t steal milk from psychotic women.
