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!
