what was i to say? what can you say ,

Spock hiding his ears:

[a-most-beloved-fool]

Are there any normal cats in TOS? The only two I'm remembering are in Catspaw, which was an illusion created by an alien who looked like. THIS:

and second in Assignment: Earth, which was actually a shapeshifter whose human form looked like this:

(notably, spock pets this cat, and declares it "a lovely creature." He says he finds himself "strangely drawn to it." not sure what the writers were trying to say with that one.)

But those are. the two cats in TOS. Neither are cats. Both are, at least temporarily or by means of illusion, women. Idk if I've really got a point to make here. I just think it's funny. If I had a nickel for every TOS episode with a cat that wasn't a cat, I'd have two nickels, etc etc.

Certainly, the cat is the best thing about this story.

Kirk- "What do you make of the cat, Mr Spock?"

Spock- "Quite a lovely animal, Captain. I find myself strangely drawn to it."

Assignment: Earth is lowkey funny because Kirk is like: Spock, how can we know what to do? Do we prevent Gary Seven's sabotage or let it happen?

And Spock, being completely unhelpful: It is difficult to know, Captain

Kirk: Okay lol, let's have no plan and do both at the same time, we'll decide at the last possible moment which one is the right choice. Put on a cute outfit, Spock, and could you also forget what the nerve-pinch is, you're gonna manhandle that secretary, we're beaming down!

Assignment Earth: While back in time observing Earth in 1968, the Enterprise crew encounters the mysterious Gary Seven who has his own agenda on the planet.

Dagger of the Mind: Kirk and psychiatrist Helen Noel are trapped on a maximum security penal colony that experiments with mind control and Spock must use the Vulcan mind-meld to find a way to save them.

RIP to actor Teri Garr, who played Roberta Lincoln in the TOS episode Assignment: Earth, which was an intended pilot for a spy-fi inspired spinoff of Trek.

She appeared in some majorly impressive films in the 1970-80s, including Young Frankenstein, Mr Mom, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Tootsie

October: Black Redux

Star Trek (the original series, s2e26, "Assignment: Earth") / April Tatro as Isis

What could be more appropriate for Halloween than a black cat? This one has the ability to shapeshift into a human form, with a rather eccentric sense of fashion. Or maybe it's just the fact that it was 1968.

It looks like she's just wearing a skirt and a bib--if there's a bodysuit as a foundation, I can't see it. Which means it would be highly impractical to move around in, and that may be why she pretty much just sits and poses on the couch. But then, cats have been known to do that too!
