I find "Cat Food" to be one of the better episodes, it's certainly very weird, creepy and definitely engaging, most of the interest comes from Stu. I think he's rather funny, and his jokes are normally quite funny. I like the serious side to his character as well. And this episode has a sense of fear and adds that bit more creepiness to it then the previous episode.
So, Stu. He is supposedly not feeling very well, so we stay with this character for most of the episodes. The old lady from over the road seems to be doing something shady, or so Stu thinks. His mum doesn't seem to find anything strange or weird about her. But Stu finds her ordering food an animal would commonly eat. So this is where the suspensions start, he searches up what she could be. I like the fact she could be an 'entity' or something else. So when his mum goes to work, Stu is having to be babysat by the old lady from across the road.
The message is abit like 'The games the game" so in order to win fairly. And not cheat. The old lady not really being the innocent person you may think she is, asks Stu to play a game. If he wins, she can't swap bodies, talk about Freeky Friday and weird shanagans, this one takes the biscuit. Unfortunately for the old lady, or the 'entity' looses.
This means she cannot bother him, but can interact and play with someone else, and if she wins, she gets to swap bodies, creepy! So the episode then ends on a plot-twist, it was a whole day after, and something weird seems to be going on in the household. And that's where the episode ends. It was a FUN episode, that's not to be taken too seriously. You can even take it out of context, it makes it seem more obserd and fun when you do.
So my afterthoughts of the episode, is that "Cat Food" is one of the BEST from Creeped outs run, and I would definitely recommend it. The run-time, the length, and the character of Stu is very fun as we adventure with him and see what's really behind the old lady. With a good plot-twist too!, so overall I'd give this episode a solid 8/10. A very good effort!
