Bombalurina is the seductive red cat we see dancing with Demeter
during the song "Macavity, The Mystery Cat". Throughout the
show she is seen using her sex appeal to recieve attention and flattery
from the males. Often she is seen competing with the younger kittens for
Rum Tum Tugger's attention, her tom cat
counterpart. Bombalurina appears to have a close relationship with Demeter,
but it is not sure whether they are actually sisters or just really close
friends. She is very protective of the younger queen and seems to be the
stronger female of the pair. Bombalurina can also be mature and comanding
when the time is right, as seen during Macavity's
song. Her and Demeter seem to have had a past with Macavity, but that
story is left up to interpretation. In almost all productions, Bombalurina
is the more confident queen while singing of the mystery cat. She has
been paired up with Rum Tum Tugger most often in the minds of Cats Fans,
but she can also be seen with the wise, steady Munkustrap.
Some other productions place her with Alonzo
and even Mungojerrie.
