A wonderful episode.
In this episode the gang visits Daphne's aunt, Oliva. She believes that a strange medallion is turning her into a cat creature that is robbing various jewelry stores.
This is a wonderfully creepy and atmospheric. The Cat Creature itself is quite creepy and intimidating. This is due to a wonderful design that is not only creepy but also quite memorable, especially since it does not resemble the previous monsters the gang has faced. This helps give the whole episode a unique feel to it. Also helping is the wonderful artwork here. The York Towers (where Daphne's aunt lives) is a fantastic and unique environment for a Scooby mystery. It completely has the look of a fancy place to live, while also managing to have a creepy feel to it when it needs to. The scenes in the cemetery at night are also delightfully creepy. Much of this is due to the great background art that is seen throughout many of the Scooby cartoons of this time period. Here that art is especially great and love the amount of detail that went into these backgrounds. This episode also features some above average animation for a Scooby mystery of this era, especially in the climatic scene in the elevator. The humor here is also quite good and I definitely got some good laughs out of this episode.
The only real complaint I have is that the mystery is too easy to solve, but this is true of many Scooby mysteries of this era.
This episode is a sheer delight for Scooby fans.
