The Doctor realizes that a metal cat, pin on the Doctor’s cloak grows to the same size as a cat, runs away, and starts creating havoc, chaos across the uncharted planet they’ve landed on and time in every clock starts slowing down leaving other planets standing still.

== Production ==
When Marc Platt returned to writing Doctor Who again, Platt submitted this unsolicited storyline in mid-1984.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" />However, the story was already discarded because script editor Eric Saward realized that filming for the story would be too complex.<ref name=":2" /> In November 1987, when [[Andrew Cartmel]] became script editor, Platt resubmitted ''Cat’s Cradle'' for [[Doctor Who (season 25)|Season 25]], but was abandoned due to it being too expensive to produce.<ref name=":2" />

In 1992, Platt would adapt ''Cat’s Cradle'' into a novel by [[Virgin Books]] as ''[[Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible|Cat’s Cradle: Times Cubicle]].''<ref name=":2" />
