Demandra

Demandra is the femslash ship between Demeter and Cassandra from the Cats fandom.

2019
Throughout the film, Cassandra and Demeter are depcicted as incredibly close. Often singing in duet together, including backing up Munkustrap during "Jellicle Cats". Cassandra is regarded as taking a spot typically held by Bombalurina throughout the movie. As he closeness and protectiveness of Demeter were traits of Bomba's in the original show. They're the two that the most often try to intimidate Victoria throughout the show.

As Victoria follows Mistoffelees to the other Jellicles, Demeter and Cassandra block her way. Cassandra demands her name, but stops as she and Demeter hiss at Mistoffelees to give them space. Demeter asks if a "cats got her" tongue, and Victoria gives her name. Cassandra says that Victoria must have another, which confuses her. Munkustrap then appears behind them and the two go to join the other jellicles.

When Grizabella goes towards Victoria, Cassandra then steps froward and stops her from getting any closer. Demeter then joins her and the two starts to sing "Grizabella: The Glamour Cat", both clearly in anger at her. They start to mock her, but Munkustrap puts a stop to it, and they return to their normal singing. The two are then later seen hanging onto Tugger.

Many have theories as to how the two became so close in the 2019 film. Many believing they became close after Bombalurina left and thus abandoned Demeter. Leaving a hole that Demeter could fill. On AO3, there is currently one written work.
