Inspired by our “Cat Wife” episode, our mysterious listener Shaun recommended we listen to “The Queen of the Cats” from The Mysterious Traveler. This episode features a man who has been lured into an ill-advised marriage by a seductive woman with a strange affinity for cats. How does she always seem to know where he goes and who he sees? How far would he be willing to go to free himself from her influence? Is there anything worse than sleepwalking with a gun? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

This episode is just awful. An abusive murderer finally sees a bit of justice. At no point does anyone freak out that he murdered his wife. What is wrong with his fiance? She seems pretty broken? The misogyny is pretty strong with this one. Aside from the whole sexist catty and cat fight tropes, the female characters are really one dimensional.
