Demecavity

Demecavity is the het ship between Demeter and Macavity from the Cats fandom.

Canon
Sometime before the show, Demeter had a previous relationship with Macavity, but left him and became one of the Jellicles. Throughout the show, Demeter becomes increasingly paranoid over Macavity appearing. Being the one to warn the tribe every time he comes close to the tribe.

When Macavity kidnaps Deuteronomy, Demeter and Bombalurina start to describe and warn the other Jellicles about him. Demeter's from very obvious experience that left her with some PTSD. He then appears again to return Old Deuteronomy to them, but Demter realizes that something is wrong. She gets the other Jellicles away from him and attacks. It's then revealed to be Macavity in disguise, who grabs Demeter in an attempt to kidnap her. He starts to drag her away, but she's saved by Munkustrap and Alonzo.

Fanon
Demecavity is regarded as more of a plot point or backstory than an actual ship. As most fans depict the two as a previous pairing before their preferred ship. Often for those who are fans of Demestrap or Demelurina. Others often use the pairing to specifically explore Demeter as a character. The song "Macavity" hinting that her relationship with him was more complicated than just outright hatred. That there might have been some genuine feelings within it. Some have also compared their relationship to Jarley, often seeing them as a former villain couple. Some also genuinly like the pair, as believe they have an aesthetic that goes well together.

Many fans theorize that Jemima is Demeter's daughter, and Macavity is her father, due to her having similar markings to Demeter, but her color being closer to Macavity's. Often in fics, it is depicted that Demeter will keep Jemima's parentage a secret in order to protect her. Though it also depicted that Macavity will kidnap Jemima for his own reasons.

On AO3, Demecavity is the most written ship for Macavity and the third most written for Demeter. It is also the ninth most written ship in the Cats - Andrew Lloyd Webber tag. There are currently 45 written works.
