House, MD: 5x18 "Here Kitty" - Discussion and Spoilers

[Trekker4747]

From TV.com:

A nursing home worker, Morgan, fakes an illness to get House to examine a cat which can predict the death of elderly patients. House doesn't believe it... until Morgan becomes ill for real.

I'm looking forward to this one. House + animals has made for good comedy in the past.

The title has got to be a wink at Arrested Development. Judy Greer (the big guest star this week) played a character named Kitty on that show. I love it. I haven't watched House in weeks, but I will probably try to catch this one.

$5 says the cat is the cause of the illness, some spore it drags in or something

Looks fun. Daughter is calling cat/house, her OTP.

Okay..... slick salesmen who claims to be a former classmate of Taub's.

And now we meet the prognosticating cat!

 

[Trekker4747]

What is that strange, large, archaic-looking black thing she held up to the window?

 

[Trekker4747]

Have I mentioned how fantastic Cuddy's legs are?

"I'll give you 24 hours."
"Consecutive?"

So Taub's problem is that he's regretting some of his choices, now? I know he's mentioned the money situation, but it seems almost as if there's more. I HAVE to have missed something.

"Stop it Dr. Wilson. It's just not funny anymore."

All I remember is that Taub gave up his practice as a Plastic Surgeon to prevent his adultery from getting out to his wife and colleagues which is how ended up under the pervue of House.

Who's the POTW? I've seen her somewhere before.

And, surely, Kumar knows that the "walking under a ladder" superstition mostly comes from when someone is ON the ladder.

The actress' name is Judy Greer, and she seems to have made a decent career with a variety of roles on various TV shows. Nothing I recall seeing her in, but I don't watch as much as I used to

From looking at her IMDB page, I most likely remember her from "What Women Want" I think she plaued the mousy, shy, office girl.

 

[Neroon]

Oh yeah! Yeah! I remember that role, now! It's been awhile since I'v eseen it, but good catch.

And looks like Taub's "classmate" was a shyster after all.

 

[Neroon]

Alright KUTNER!!!!! "Yeah... a cat." complete with shocked look by 13.

And I actually am feeling sorry for Taub.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

I had a cat that looked just like the death kitty. Pretty, pretty. God, House is an uspeakable asshole to Taub. Why the hell won't he let up? Telling him to clean the cat box is pretty demeaning. I'm glad Kutner pissed on his chair.
