Demelonzostrap

Demelonzostrap is the poly ship between Demeter, Alonzo and Munkustrap from the Cats fandom.

Canon
Macavity starts to attack the tribe and attempts to kidnap Demeter. Munkustrap grabs her to stop him, and Alonzo is able to sneak in and carry her off to safety. Munkustrap then fights off Macavity before getting hurt and Alonzo then continues the fight. Alonzo gets hurt as well, and after the fight Demeter will comfort one of them after. In 80s and 90s productions, she would comfort Alonzo, and it would imply that the two get together afterwards. In the 98 film however, Demeter would comfort Munkustrap and the two would remain close for the rest of the show. This followed in most replica productions.

Fanon
Demelonzostrap is a rarer pair in the Cats fandom. The ship comes from both Alonzo and Munkustrap teaming up to save Demeter from Macavity, and Demeter ending up with one or the other afterwards. Many think they would make a good relationship later, and that Demeter would need it after everything she's gone through. The ship is often seen as a very viable solution to the love triangle within the fandom. As due to the various productions where Demeter seems to end up with either Munkustrap or Alonzo, many debate which relationship is better. Many fans also ship Alonzo and Munkustrap, meaning that for quite a few that easily ship all three together. Though some do use the potential relationships for drama, rather than bringing forward any kind of solution.

Some fans will depict the three of them as Jemima's parents. Having them raise her together. Others will often include characters like Sillabub or Electra as possible kids for the three. The ship is often shipped alongside Tuggoffelees and Platoria.

On AO3, Demelonzostrap is the sixth most written ship for Demeter. There are currently 10+ written works.
