The Therapeutic Cat
Description
Henry Joyce, a wealthy man, initially thinks his son Jack has gone bananas, but when his condition worsens he follows Jack’s advice: to get a cat and imitate it, because a cat is the most relaxed of all animals. Miraculously, Henry begins to feel better and ultimately becomes so fond of the cat that, much to his son’s consternation, he decides to change his will, leaving much of his fortune to the therapeutic feline.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
