2008 Kittens

Congratulations Diania Marie Kitten of the Year, 2008
|  |
Diania appears above in a wine colored triangle top and G-string bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. And she can't get enough of those Kiwi Suits. Mind you, we can't get enough of her in those Kiwi Suits. Diania wears Kiwis or nothing at all - either way, it's a marvelous sight to behold when she goes for a dip. |

Amy Amy Gonzales returns
again this year as Femcat. This past year Amy's been putting the wraps on her undergraduate degree at Texas State,
and we're all interested where we'll see her next. Of course, we're very happy that while we're waiting, she landed on our pages one more time. Amy appears at left in a "Blue Fairies" G-string side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. She covers it up with the matching Blue Fairies wrap skirt from Kiwi Bikinis. She can also top it all off with the Kiwi Bikinis matching "Booty Short," if she's feeling modest. |
|
Bebe This year we pay another visit to Beatriz "Bebe" Bocanegra. Many of you remember her from last year when she was a "Femcat." But so many readers liked her that she's back this year on the rear cover. And don't be surprised to see her with a month of her own some time very soon. Bebe appears at right in a red foil g-thong and triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
 |
 |
Becky Every year somebody asks us (well, actually a lot of you ask us) when we're bringing back Becky Lock. So we did. One of our most popular Kittens ever is taking break from being a country music video queen to return as your Miss Kitty for January this year. And we're very happy to have her back. |
|
Candace Candace Nirvana returns to Cougars and Kittens for 2008, and so many of you loved her so much when posed with Dana Leilich and Jaclyn Renee, we did a reprise this year. Different car, different bikinis, different 5" spike heels. But your favorite Three Amigas are riding again. Candace has been busy modeling all over the country since last you saw her here. But we're going to get her to hold still long enough to get some more photos of her, for sure. |
 |
 |
Cassandra Could you really be satisfied with only seeing Cassandra Breen once? She was here in 2006, but by popular demand, this tall shapely Florida beauty returns for 2008. Look for her inside the Daytona Speedway tri-oval in exactly the bikini you see at left. Yum! Cassandra appears at left in a purple metallic foil G-thong side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis, $15 for top and bottom. |
|
Dana Yes, one of the grand triumvirates of bikini babes - Dana Leilich, Candace Nirvana and Jaclyn Renee - is back on your October page for 2008. Since last you saw Dana, she's been on E! television's "Playboy's Girls Next Door Show" and been on the road all over as a runway model. Back home closer to Baltimore, she's also the pre- and post-game hostess with the mostest for the NFL's Ravens. We're just wondering how she can dress up as a cat and still sneak in with a group of birds - although we did see a few little feathers in the corners of her mouth last time looked. Dana appears at right in a gold metallic foil G-thong side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis, $15 for top and bottom. |

 |
Danielle Meet one of the newest Femcats, the lovely (and very naturally curvy) Danielle Trixie. She's a top model in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but she's all over the country doing promotional and website work as well. Beyond that, she's a survivor of cancer, and she appears in our sister publication, Hot Survivors as well. She worked out so well for us, don't be at all surprised if next year you see her with a month of her own. Danille appears at left in a leopard print side-tie Rio-cut bikini by Bombshell Bikinis. |

Diania
We promised you last year you'd get to see more of Diania Marie - only this time as a blonde. Actually, this year the bikinis coming out of the good folks at Kiwi have gotten even smaller, so you'll be seeing about as much of Diania as you can see outside of Playboy magazine, for which she recently tested. We ourselves like seeing her so much, we put her all over the inside of our 2008 calendar and took her on the road with us as well. So far, nobody's complained - least of all us... Diania appears at right in a wine colored G-string side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis, $15 for top and bottom. |

Gabriella Another perennial favorite takes time out from her business school studies to grace your wall again this year. Since last we checked in with her, our Kitten of the Year for 2003-2004 has been working on her MBA while working in venture capital. Let us now rejoice that with all that, she still finds time to work in cat ears and tail. |
|
Heidi Once more we check in with Los
Angeles-based model Heidi Pacot, who's been working with auto magazines and swimwear companies all up and down the left coast. |
 |
 |
Hetzl Say hello to another Femcat rookie, Hetzl - a popular model on the Texas gulf coast. She's making her first appearance here, but we doubt it'll be the last, since she did an outstanding job in the ears and tail on her initial outing. Hetzl appears at left in a red-piped checkered flag "Girl Racer" G-thong side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis, $15 for top and bottom. |
|
Jaclyn Would it really be "Cougars and Kittens" without Jaclyn Renee? Of course not. So we teamed her back up with her old pals Candace Nirvana and Dana Leilich for a truly memorable October page. As if the shot at right hasn't been burned onto your retinas for a few years, now... Jaclyn appears at right in a hot pink piped checkered flag "Girl Racer" G-thong side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
 |
 |
Jamie Mason also reprises her role as Femcat for 2008. And she's looking gorgeous as ever, as photographers from Oregon to Arizona can readily attest from having shot her in person. This has been a busy year on the road for this Kitty, but she's settled back in the Portland area, so you can expect to see her in person when next we head to the Pacific Northwest. Jamie appears at left in a red metallic foil G-thong side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. Insignia on left bra cup not included. |
|
Jen Amber Jennifer Amber makes her rookie appearance in these pages as Miss Kitty for September, but she's no stranger to modeling, having worn a groove between her hometowns of Phoenix and Los Angeles chasing modeling jobs back and forth. We're very fortunate that this desert flower was at the Phoenix end of the circuit when we showed up for the 2006 Desert Prowl show - and that she held still long enough that we could get some killer shots on film.
|
 |
 |
Jen Johnson Jennifer Johnson is now officially a household name. Over the past year, she's had a major breakout in the modeling and acting business, being "head of household" on the CBS-TV reality show "Big Brother." And we've been sorting through her fan mail ever since. We consider ourselves very, very lucky that with all the demands on her time, this Beverly Hills beauty was able to get back with us for another appearance as Miss Kitty.
|
Kate Say hello to one of members of the icoming freshman class of Femcats, Kate West. Kate came to our attention as we were shooting our sister publication, Hot Survivors - since in addition to being hot, hot, hot, she's also a survivor of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Originally we were only planning on shooting her for that charity project, but she just sort of spilled over and poured herself into a Femcat costume. And who were we to argue? Kate appears at right in a white piped powder blue "Stars" G-string side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |

Kerri
While we're on the subject of first-time Femcats, let's have a look at budding supermodel Kerri Taylor, who's an accomplished pro at print work. We got lucky that this east coast beauty passed through our base of operations in Texas around the time that the Femcat suit, hose, and heels needed filling. Of course, she fills out just about anything - including an itsy-bitsy bikini - absolutely brilliantly. Expect to see her turn up with us in places like Carlisle before too long. Kerri
appears at left in a semi-sheer pink-piped lavender G-string side-tie triangle
top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
|
Kira
God Bless casting agents who also work as scouts for Playboy magazine. When our good buddy Karen the agent/scout said, "Have I got the girl for you," she wasn't kidding. Kira proved to be an absolute dream - so much so that she scored the calendar cover on her first outing. Expect to see much, much more of her in the years to come. Kira
appears at right in a sequined orange G-string side-tie triangle
top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis $15 for top and bottom.

Laura
Dr. Laura Oeschler (yup, she's a real medical professional) is back as Femcat for 2008.
She was also pivotal in finding us cancer survivors for our sister publication, Hot Survivors, so how could we say no to the idea of putting her in a Femcat costume one more time. |
|
MaDawn Once just wasn't enough for our back cover girl MaDawn Souders. You saw her in 2006 at Carlisle and later in 2007 as Miss Kitty for August. And told us you wanted more. So we took her to Phoenix for the Desert Prowl and put her smack on the back. Again, you're welcome. MaDawn appears at right in a red piped checkered flag "Girl Racer" g-string triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis.

| Michelle Miss Kitty for July, Femcat |
Michelle appears above in a copper Rio-cut (how appropriate) triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. She can wear any size she wants, including the XS shown here. How she managed to make an XS top fit remains a matter for the physicists to solve... |
|
|
Natalie
Natalie White made a strong impression last year when she shared the back cover with MaDawn Souders and Rachel Bittner. So strong, in fact, that we had to give her a month of her own. These days our favorite long tall model from West Virginia is modeling all across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York City. But it was her appearance on the hood of a Cougar at Carlisle that really did it for us. Natalie appears at right in a blue foil rio bottom with triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
 |
 |
NV Kira (above) wasn't the only lovely young thing to come to us via the aforementioned Playboy model scout. Kira brought a friend. And oh, what a gorgeous friend NV turned out to be. An accomplished model in her own right, NV has been all over the western US and in parts of Mexico on the catwalks, on the beaches, in the bikinis, and (lucky for us) in the bikinis on the hoods of classic Cougars. Trust us, even beyond this year, you'll be seeing lots of her. NV
appears at left in the same blue foil rio bottom with triangle top bikini
by Kiwi Bikinis as worn by Natalie above. Thank goodness these ladies know how to share... |
|
Renee
Renee Marcelle, our bombshell from Dallas, just totally rocks our world. No wonder to a lot of folks she's "Red Hot Renee." This year, for us, she's Femcat once again. And nobody seems to mind that one bit... Renee appears at right in a sheer when wet G-string triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis, $15 for top and bottom. Here she is after a little dip. Hooray for cold water! |

| Rumeysa

Sarah David Bowie must have had Sarah Lawton in mind when he sang "China Doll." Of course, rock-and-roll's master of fashion has nothing on Sarah when it comes to wearing just the right outfit to make a perfect statement. And when this accomplished model from Phoenix dons a bikini to say a few words, we're all ears. |
 |
 |
Shari
Dr. Evil's famous line from Austin Powers Goldmember runs, "If there's two things I can't stand, it's intolerance and the Dutch." Clearly old chrome dome never crossed paths with low country stunner Shari Tee - who traded her wooden shoes for Femcat heels and painted us a picture of beauty worthy of Rembrandt. Already taking the central Texas modeling world by storm, she turned our studio upside down and sideways as she stood, lay down, cat stretched, and said, "Meow" for our pleasure - and yours. Shari appears at left in a "girl racer" g-string and triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
Shiley Some women just keep getting better with the passage of time. And four years after we first photographed her, Shiley Carter is that much more of a stunner. In the past year, she's turned her survivorship of Leukemia into a powerful tool for healing - as she undergoes a crash program in oncological nursing. We count her as one more medical professional who falls in the "spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down" category. We also got lucky enough to grab the shot at right for our Hot Survivors sister publication - where it appears as the centerfold. ("I love you, America!") And best of all, we got her back on the hood of a restomod Cougar for our June page. Life just doesn't get any better than that... |

Stephanie De Jane Stephanie De Jane is everywhere in Los Angeles - from standing in for red-headed actresses to standing around the Playboy Mansion West grotto in just a splash of body paint. Yes, indeed, that was her you saw in Playboy's Book of Lingerie as well as on Playboy TV's "Casting Calls." We're just ecstatic that when she came back to her home state of Texas (where we also make our home), she came a calling on us one more time - and settled right into cat ears and a tail again. Stephanie appears at left in a see-through blue lace G-string and triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
|
Stephanie Hodge
Our 6'3" stunner is back - and soaking up the sun in southern California one more time - to give you a fabulous November page to melt the snows no matter where you are. These days, Steph is spending most of her time in Chicago, where it seems a tall, gorgeous brunette can write her own ticket on the runways and catwalks. And we're proud to say that she first learned to walk like a cat right here. |
