Demeter is the black and gold queen we see hanging around Bombalurina and the other older females a lot. She is usually the first cat on stage--she runs out and hisses as a car's headlights illuminate her for a moment. The songs she is most memorable in are "Macavity", which she sings with Bombalurina, and "Grizabella, The Glamour Cat". All throughout she seems to be always on the watch and even a bit jumpy. We learn later that Macavity is the source of her fear. Demeter previously had a past with the mystery cat, but what exactly happened to her, like Bombalurina, is not known. Most people make up their own story. Demeter is seen reaching out to Grizabella when she appears, but then at the last minute ducking away, as if ashamed that she considered touching her. After the final Macavity scare, Demeter can be seen in the spotlight with Munkustrap in the London show, but with Alonzo in the Broadway version. Nobody can really seem to decide who this chick belongs to. She also appears to have a small crush on Mungojerrie in some versions, and usually appears to despise Rum Tum Tugger. Some fans belive that Demeter is Sillabub's mother, with the father being either Macavity or Munkustrap. Others think she is Sillabub's big sister along with Bombalurina. Demeter's name comes from the Greek Goddess, who was responsible for crops and growing things. |
