Sabrina, the Teenage Witch: Cat Showdown

« prev episode next » episode

Sabrina has blown her allowance, and Salem has maxed out his credit card over the phone, so they decide to enter a cat show to earn the prize money, but soon find themselves wrapped up in a blackmail scheme to force the judge to throw the competition, and, to avoid being caught, Sabrina has to transform herself into a contestant. Meanwhile, Hilda and Zelda seek out a magical perfume that will make Zelda repulsive to their love-sick mailman Dirk, and Hilda gets shrunk as a punishment for taking free samples in the magical "Full Moon" shop.

One of the people in the cat show was Dr. Evil a character from the hit movie Austin Powers. edit »
Sabrina initially assumes Salem's last name is Spellman, then he corrects her by saying he is "her cat, not [her] pet".

Shouldn't it be obvious to Sabrina that Salem's last name would be different from hers, considering he is a man-turned-cat? edit »
How could Sabrina (in cat form) be proclaimed winner of the competition? After all, she was never officially entered, she could have just been a stray cat. edit »
In this episode Bob Gordan compares Sabrina to Diane Sawyer. Sabrina eventually becomes interested in journalism in later episodes. edit »

Mr. Pool, Libby and Jenny do not appear in this episode. edit »
"Stray Cat Strut," a 1981 song by the rockabilly group the Stray Cats, is used in this episode. edit »

Sabrina is a cat, trapped in a cage.
Sabrina: Salem, this is awful! If I can't point, I can't change myself back! What was that?
Salem: What?
Sabrina: There's something in here with me!
Salem: What?
Sabrina: Oh, it's just my tail... edit »
Zelda: Available at Full Moon Beauty Supply...
Hilda: Let's go!
Zelda: We can't. Full Moon Beauty Supply only opens once a month.
Hilda: When?
Zelda: During the full moon...
Hilda: I knew that! edit »

Mr. Gordon: Pushy, like a young Diane Sawyer.
