Sure he was playing up the cute and cuddly bit for the cameras, but it was that very thing that tipped me off, he just was too innocent. I really can't believe it was the _____ (the person who the movie says was the killer). The cat was the only one who could move about with no one noticing.
Look at the way he played with the yarn. Seems like a typical cat at first, but look closer, it's all right there in his eyes. And think about when Emily Brent is murdered, who's there? Not the _____. No. It's the cat. All he had to do when everyone came up the stairs was act like he was playing with the yarn and no one payed him any attention. But it was clear to me that the director was telling the audience who the real killer is. It was rather obvious symbolism. He was playing with the yarn just as nonchalantly as he was playing with these peoples lives.
Remember, in murder mysteries the killer is often the one you least expect. My guess is that "puss" had been given one too many baths and required retribution to repair his dignity. -

I get it now! The cat hypnotized the killer into murdering all the guests. The cat wanted world domination and was upset because humans were getting away with these murders so he turned evil. Her owner was the person on the recording and the cat murdered him. Then Mrs. and Mr. Owen adopted the cat. The cat also before the death of her owner she made him write the invitation letters. It all makes perfect logical sense.

He probably already has a secret mad scientist laboratory set up in the basement so he'll be ready for his next experiment in mind control.
I pity the poor real estate agent who is sent to the island to try to unload this house, with its terrible history, only to unsuspectingly wander into the kitty's web of intrigue and become the next pawn in a vicious game of reprisals against bad pet owners.
I think we have the beginnings of an excellent sequel.
last 2 dvds:
Dr. Cyclops
(1940) &
El espinazo del diablo
(2001) -

I like your post.
I actually thought the cat was going to factor in one of two ways: either someone would realize that the cat belonged to Mr. Owen and that the cat was friendliest with whoever was Owen; or - I thought there was another person hiding in secret passages and that someone would notice the cat being able to get places where all the entrances were closed, thus leading to the discovery of the secret passages. Alas, neither of those things occurred.

I also wondered who was going to feed the cat now that most people were dead and the last two people were leaving the island. I guess the cat belongs to the owner of the island who as coming back supposedly within a few days.
