Demeter is a refined and mature adult cat. She is best friends with
Bombalurina and often turns to the latter for help in unpleasant situations. Unlike Bombalurina, she shows no interest in
Rum Tum Tugger's advances. Despite her outward appearances, she is very troubled inside and particularly paranoid when it comes to the villainous
Macavity, who she has an intense hatred for. Demeter is the cat who unmasks Macavity when he tries to trick the tribe by disguising as their leader
Old Deuteronomy. She is one of the few adult cats to attempt to welcome
Grizabella, but cannot bring herself to fully accept her until the show is almost over. The role of Demeter is dance-heavy and usually calls for a
mezzo-soprano range with a high
belt.
Appearance Demeter, as costumed in the
1998 filmed production, is black and gold with a few patches of white and red or orange, and wears gloves instead of arm warmers, giving her a more elegant touch. In other productions she has larger patches of red. She has a few tabby markings around her face and legs. ==Songs==
