When I saw the cat Peter Baxter was stroking in bed in the opening scene, I looked over at Catania sleeping peacefully next to me on the couch. The eponymous star of the show was identical to my beauty: a full, round face with dark brown markings, dark tail and legs and a paler brown over the creamy beige of her sturdy body. My cat was too invested in sleeping off dinner than to look at the TV. I think it is a different cat in the scene where Hing is digging up the briefcase (and there was something delicious on the rock where he set the h(im)er) But in the office scene at the end of the episode it is surely a different cat: slimmer, and with much less brown and more like what has become the standard for Siamese cats. Also, the cats must have been given some of the sedation discussed in the episode: they're both too calm in what was probably a quite chaotic studio.
Also, I immediately recognized Richard Crane (Dr. Keene) from the ancient, beloved(LOL) TV serial "Rocky Jones: Space Ranger"
