I (somewhat) agree with Ozzie! Wow, someone else who actually thinks that Jemima is Demeter and Macavity's daughter! BUT: I think Jemima was conceived against Demeter's will, but Macavity just didn't know. Demeter acts nothing like a mother to Jemima, which leads me to believe that when Demeter escaped from Macavity (I believe she was catnapped, not his mate, and she was forced to do whatever he wanted *coughcough*) and discovered she was pregnant, she got a bit.. freaked. So when the kitten was born, everyone in the tribe was told she was an orphan/abondoned. They did this to protect Demeter and Jemima from Macavity, who would most likely want his kitten to be a criminal like him. About Demeter and Munkustrap: I honestly can't see them as mates. He was just doing his duty as a protector when he saved Demeter from Macavity. She might have feelings for him, and vice versa, but I don't see it happening. - Jellicle Jemima
