The premise

A man and his girlfriend plan to rob the mansion of the man's eccentric but wealthy aunt. However, the aunt keeps dozens of cats in her home, and the man is deathly afraid of cats.

Horror Vault's take

A scheming couple sets their sights on a wealthy San Francisco eccentric's fortune, hatching a plan that hinges on charming their way into her will. The catch: her sprawling mansion is overrun with cats, and one half of the duo harbors a paralyzing terror of them. What begins as a stylish late-'60s thriller gradually tightens its grip as the cats seem less and less oblivious to the intruders' intentions. Atmosphere and dread do much of the heavy lifting in this overlooked gem of animal-horror suspense.
