In tonight’s episode of House, one of the guest stars I’m most looking forward to seeing is the beautiful Russian blue cat. I have two close friends, each with a cat that looks identical to this one, green eyes and all. Both were thrilled when I told them that “their cat” was going to be a guest star on House this week. LOL!

But on a more serious note, those of us who like to look over all the spoilers ahead of watching the episode can check everything out in this post. And I’ve linked to all the photos, video clips and background information on the real cat the episode was based on. Now all we have to do is wait until air time…

Spoiler:
Nursing-home worker Morgan (guest star Judy Greer) fakes sick to get House’s attention after the home’s pet cat sleeps next to her. It seems that the cat only pays a visit to people if they are about to die – and does so with alarming accuracy. While House dismisses Morgan as a nut job, he is intrigued by her theory on the kiss-of-death cat, and sets out to disprove it. When Morgan falls seriously ill, he and the team are forced to get to the bottom of both mysteries. [Source: FOX]

House and the team take on the case of Morgan (guest star Judy Greer) who works in a nursing home with a pet cat who only sleeps next to people if they are about to die – and does so with alarmingly accuracy. When it seems the cat has predicted her own death, Morgan, convinced she is about to die, fakes a seizure in order to get to House to have him diagnose her before it’s too late. House dismisses her as a nut job, but is intrigued with the claim about the cat and sets out to disprove Morgan’s theory. When she falls seriously ill, he and the team are forced to get to the bottom of her mysterious illness – as well as the mystery of the cat with the kiss-of-death. Meanwhile, Taub struggles with his finances and reconnects with an old high school friend at the clinic whose business successes present Taub with an entrepreneurial opportunity he had not previously considered in the “Here Kitty” episode of HOUSE airing Monday, March 16 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
