There is something particularly odd about seeing Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara going all soppy over the delivery of a kitten, there like two little kids, until it occurs to are two coppers that this is the calling card of Catwoman, who else of course. The arrival of Julie Newmar as The Catwoman is a real boost to the series and as a villain,, she is equal and in some cases a much better character when dealing with the relationship between bats and his opponents. Her flirtatious ways and almost coy mannerisms when she is dealing with the caped crusaders are pitch-perfect and you can tell that Newmar's having a lot of fun with this character. its a great start to introducing this character, in fact in some scenes they hint at an almost supernatural element to her persona, hinting that she might be able to change into an actual cat, one-minute there's an actual cat, the next Catwoman pops out of thin air. You do wonder what the writers were doing when Catwoman utters the line to one of her henchmen "You can brush my pussywillows.", er hold on guys this is a family show, perhaps this was the inspiration for Mrs Slocombe's antics in Are You Being Served??? You have to say the Catwoman certainly gives Emma Peel a run for her money in the costume department.
