CSI:Crime Scene Investigation-Cats in the Cradle..

[Scarecrow-88 · 7/10 · 2 January 2011]

Disconcerting episode of CSI has members of the team investigating cases on a "cat lady" stabbed in the chest, found inside the home, her corpse feasted on by the felines she so loved and protected & a car bomb which seemed to be targeting the daughter of a demolition company's owner. The sight of an old woman being fed on by an army of cats is certainly an indelible image that is sure to remain in the memory and the way the car bomb case concludes leaves a bad taste(it concerns setting up someone so that the one responsible could get shares in a company). The killer of the old woman sure chills the bones, that's for sure. The testimony by a mechanic, finger prints of an employee of the demolition company in regards to the pipe bomb used, vice-grips marks, and the exploded car itself all could play a hand in solving the case. A cat with staph infection, a heel shoe print, an empty safe, and a pen could all help Grissom and Catherine finger the particular suspect behind the cat lady's murder. The number of suspects which develop in the cat lady's murder certainly prove that she seemed to rub a lot of people the wrong way, her insistence to devote her entire being to those cats over everything else alienated/polarized her from the suburban community for which she lived.

Cheap Thrills?

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 11 January 2021]

There are the usual two cases. The one referred to in the title involves an elderly lady who lives in a filthy house, filled with cats. She has been stabbed and there appears to be no logic to her death. Her son, a depressed jerk, says there was no money in the house. He had done what he could for her but had no relationship. The conclusion to this comes right out of left field. The latter episode is about the explosion of a brand new BMW. The CSI's begin to smell a rat when they meed the families associated with that car. Once again, hard evidence and logic are brought into play.

The Cats and the Bomb

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 24 October 2022]

When the correspondence pills up in front of the house of the eighty-year-old Ruth Elliott, the mailman looks through the window and calls the police since the lady is dead. Grissom, Catherine, Warrick and Ray O'Ryley come to investigate the case and they find Ms. Elliott being eaten by their several cats. But Grissom finds that she was stabbed on the chest. Two girls have witnessed a discussion between the next door neighbor Debbie Stein and Ms. Elliot. Debbie, together with Ms. Elliott's son Tyler, become suspects of the murder. Meanwhile, Sara, Nick and Captain Brass investigate the case of a BMW blown up with a bomb. They interview the driver Marcie Tobin and the mechanic Marcus Remmick that tell that Marcie overheard a noise in the engine. When she popped the hood for Marcus to check, he saw a bomb and they ran to seek out protection and the car exploded. They learn that the only person that has access to the car is her husband Johnny, who is the foreman in her father's company of construction and demolition. They interview her father Barclay Tobin and Johnny and start to investigate the available evidence.

"Cats in the Cradle..." is a great episode of "CSI", with two good storylines. The first one, with the gruesome death of an old lady and a surprising conclusion with the identity of the killer. The second episode, with the investigation of a blown-up car and Nick and Sara learning the truth. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Gatos na Cama" ("Cats on the Bed")

I love It n no doubt about it

[otomen · 10/10 · 6 February 2009]

When a local cat lady is found dead in her home, Grissom, Catherine and Warrick must discover how she died, and who killed her. Elsewhere, Sara and Nick investigate an explosion from a bomb in the engine of a woman's car.

Marcie Tobin had driven the car to a repair shop to find out the source of a weird noise in her car engine. The mechanic claimed to have looked under the hood, saw the bomb and told her to run. The investigators realize that the bomb aimed at the driver, suggesting that it was intentional and personal, as bombs usually are. Upon sifting through the fragments of the blast, Nick comes across an end cap, indicating that the bomb was a pipe bomb. Brass, having run a background check on the victim's husband, inform them that he works at Tobin C&D, a demolitions company, prompting Sara and Nick to pay him a visit. They interview Jonathan Claddon, the husband, and find that he knows how to make a bomb, raising their suspicion. At that point, the owner of the company, Barclay Tobin, who is also Marcie's father, orders Jonathan away. Barclay Tobin makes it clear that he dislikes his son-in-law, suspecting him to be cheating on his daughter. He also tells them that all his foremen, including Jonathan, has access to dynamite, voluntarily offering them employee fingerprint records. A visit to Greg reveals that dynamite containing sawdust add nitro, identical to those used at Tobin C&D, was used in the bomb. Investigators notice that the latch was blown open so the hood must have been closed when the bomb went off. Sara and Nick surmise that no one would slam the hood on a ticking time bomb. Also there were no fingerprints so they suspect the mechanic was lying. Nick finds that tool marks on a bomb fragment match a vice grip found at the car repair shop, and match the prints to Marcie Tobin, It turns out that she and her father had tried to frame Jonathan for attempted murder to prevent him from getting a stake in the family business in the event of a divorce, as a a criminal can't benefit from his own malfeasance.

In the end it turns out that the 8-year-old girl next door had stabbed the cat lady with a pen because she refused to give her one of the cats as a pet.

The review is simple. Its capture me a little. I was froze the kids blame the mother . All i can say is this is a classic all time CSi episode
