  In production terms, The Cat Creeps was the last of the Universal horror films. … Like so many of Universal’s “horror” films of the time, it’s more of a mystery, with a dash of comedy, and only the briefest hint of the supernatural, all of which is thoroughly debunked, Scooby-Doo style, at the end. … The Cat Creeps tries to have its proverbial cake and eat it, dialling in some occasionally spooky scenes and mixing in talk of reincarnation into a cat but it never commits to the horror at all. … At the end of the day, The Cat Creeps is just a mildly creepy murder mystery, one far too dull to work effectively.
