You make some interesting points.  However, I wonder how closely you were really watching?  Your comment:  

[10] For some reason Lois Maxwell's character (a Harlington & Straker secretary) is wearing a cast without any explanation in one scene near the end of the episode (and I don't recall her wearing one in any of her earlier scenes).

Miss Holland, for she, unlike the Cat's Mother, does indeed have a name, is scratched by the cat when she tries to stroke it.  We don't see her injury, but let's assume it's a reasonably bad scratch.  When seen later Miss Holland is wearing a bandage and not a 'cast'.  

And you make a couple of references to the cat suddenly being 'about ten miles' down the road.  Where does this ten miles come from?  

[9] The incredible speed of 'Captain Cat'. One minute he is staking out Regan's cousin's house, the next he is about 10 miles down the road waiting for Regan & his wife to drive by. And when Straker unleashes the hounds after 'Captain Cat', the frisky feline seemingly runs 10 miles away from the Harlington-Straker studio before it is caught & killed.


Sorry to nit-pick.  But I notoiced these things straight away.
