Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains spoilers for this episode!

Synopsis: James T. West (Robert Conrad) and Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin) may have met their match in Morgan Midas (Robert Drivas) who is burning diamonds to create a serum that he believes will make him all powerful.

Kitty Cameo: West goes to the home of Lady Margaret who is supposed to be donating diamonds for an exhibit, only Midas is there claiming that she is his Aunt and that she is on a trip.  Shown into the parlor, West approaches a long-haired white cat on a cushion.  He addresses the cat as Sultan and notes that he is getting fat.

Later West deduces that Lady Margaret is not actually traveling since she wouldn’t go anywhere without her cat.  Midas curses because his partner in crime, Lucretia, is the one who said to spare Sultan.

Final Mewsings: Cats makes great clues!
