I think Demeter is Bomby's sister, Jerrie's sister, Teasers (possible half sister) and Jemima's mother. When they were teenagers, she and Macavaty were an item, but when he decided to found the Unjellicles he kittynapped her and took her away with him. She was very mad at him but still had feelings for him. Unfortuanately for him, when she found out she was pregnant with Jemima she made him take her back to the jellicles so Jemima could be raised as a part of the tribe. They let her back in, (she HAD been catnapped, after all!) and she had and raised Jemima to think she was the daughter of someone else, mabey Tugger or Munkustrap. (This was so that both Jemima and the tribe wouldn't think of Jemima as a criminal or from the family of one). Bomby is Demeter's best friend and protector from anyone who might scorn her, but it is also clear that Bomby hates Macavity with a vengence because he prevented her from seeing her sister grow up and has made her sister so thouroughly miserable. She doesn't often let - Shoshana
