Hi Clare

Thanks for your reply.

My apologies, I forgot the character's name was Miss Holland (I only just remembered the scene with the 'bandage' when I was finishing the post). Yes that would make sense that she got scratched by Captain Cat (as he appears to have super-strong paws, hence his amazing speed & dexterity in the episode).

But yes, the bizarre movements of the 'Captain Cat' are noteworthy in the episode. He is literally everywhere in the episode. From stalking outside Regan's cousin's house, to later waiting on the road (some miles away!) for the  Regans car to drive by. He then appears at the SHADO HQ with Regan, only to do a vanishing act later in the episode when he is discovered by Straker as an alien spy. He apparently re-appears some miles away from the Harlington & Straker studio (hence the long scene of the dogs running after him). It's a pity he got killed, maybe Straker could have hired him to do Whiskas commericals etc :)

But yes, 'Cat with Ten Lives' is only trumped by 'Confetti' as the worst episode of UFO I have seen so far (which is no mean feat given how terrible I thought 'Confetti' actually was.
