Amanda and Sarah go full feline with an episode all about cats. First, Sarah calls upon witches' familiars, both cat and otherwise, then throws in some local true crime with the account of the Scream Bandit of Shadyside. For the live portion of the episode, Amanda goes spooky with the legendary Black Cat of Killakee, followed by a heartwarming story about Morris, the ghostly resident cat at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Other subjects covered include weird pet names, vigilante justice fantasies, and wandering teats.
Recommendations:
Amanda recommends watching the gloriously bad 1985 horror movie Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf.
