Original Air Date: November 4, 1978

Synopsis: The gang investigate an older woman’s claim that she is under the power of a curious cat curse which changes her into a pilfering, polythene pussycat creature.

Cartoon Cats: The cat creature, it should come as no surprise, is just a person in a masked costume.

However, when Fred (voiced by Frank Welker), Velma (voiced by Nicole Jaffe) and Daphne (voiced by Heather North) are exploring a tunnel, they are startled by a cat’s shadow on the wall and the most ungodly kitty screeches imaginable. It turns out just to be an orange tabby.
