BREAKING NEWS: Will Y&R's Kitty Benson WALK?
By Jamey Giddens on July 13, 2009
SOAP SPOOF SCOOP: Another day, another drama soap fans. Sources very close to the set of CBS Daytime's The Young and the Restless have revealed the amazing cat-ress who plays Kitty Benson is thisclose to walking amid tense contract negotiations!
SOAP SPOOF SCOOP: Another day, another drama soap fans. Sources very close to the set of CBS Daytime's The Young and the Restless have revealed the amazing cat-ress who plays Kitty Benson is thisclose to walking amid tense contract negotiations!
"Kitty has had it up to her paws with Maria Arena Bell's strong arm tactics," says the mouse, er mole. "They've cut her catnip budget and are making her share a dressing room with that bitch who plays Zapato!"
Reportedly, during a rather heated round of discussions, Kitty got so mad she scratched Paul Rauch across the face.
"We're talking about one fed up pussy," says the source.
if you are wondering how a dead cat scratched someone, like I was when I first heard this shocking story, you might want to sit down— that is if you read your computers standing up and doing a soft shoe tap like I do—according to the source, Kitty is actually alive!
"Kitty isn't really dead," says the setsider. "She is just that good of a feline thespian. She doesn't phone it in like Zapato, yet he isn't being asked to take a paycut. It's pet discrimination, pure and simple."
Talk about the truth about cats and dogs! Y&R was reportedly planning a big story for November Sweeps to bring Kitty back from the dead after Kevin (Greg Rikaart)— dressed as the Silver Chipmunk— gives her a motivational speech, but now that's all up in the air— or in a tree as it were— until Kitty puts her paw print on the dotted line!
Kitty's representatives allegedly declined to negotiate possibly spinning the character off to Guiding Light for its final months when they learned the actresses on that show aren't allowed to pet their kitties. Jeanne Cooper and Jess Walton, however, may make cameo appearances we hear.

They should hire a black cat and start daytime's first interracial cat relationship. An Epic Fancy Feast tale.

David,
Don't be silly. You know the real interracial pairing would be Kitty and Victor's mustache. The Mustache and the Kitty! Now that would be a daytime TV taboo breaker!
The fur would fly when their passion is ignited!

Josstheguy,
And then we can bring on Harold The Dog from AMC to investigate the death of Kitty in a murder mystery. He'll sniff out the culprit.

David,
Harold the Dog is dead; so, he would be the perfect choice to join Kitty on screen!

Hilarious. lol I'm surprised Zapato isn't more miffed at his apparant lack of a storyline. It's all about the Pussy lately. Where's the dog love? LOL Has Zapato walked off the set w/ Egan? lol I heard Zapato wouldn't do a scene with Miss Kitty and that's why he's MIA. -) LOL

WHAT!?!?!? Kitty can't go!
This cat needs an official holiday, a twitter and a facebook page. And YES, Kitty needs a fan club and a love interest. Kitty needs some love besides the one she gets from mama Patty.
Kitty wouldn't go into MySpace. It's like the ATWT of the internet.

I say Kitty should be THE star of Y&R. I mean a Zapato-Kitty hookup could be a front burner story just in time for sweeps. And Kitty could come back from the dead at least eight more times.

Here we again, Y&R is becoming Passions and nothing else.
Bringing back people or dead cats is just plain ridiculous. My patient is running out and I dont know how long it will last.

O.M.G. *roflmao*SNORTING*lol This is HIGHlarious!!! I haven't been on the site in a few weeks, but this was definitely worth the return trip today. Now, lemme see... what can I say.
I did love the chemistry between Kitty and Zapato in the potting shed. At one point, I thought Zapato was going to grab Kitty and run, but there was a bit of tenderness there. Zapato may be big, but he has the heart of a teddy bear. Hmmmm... I wonder if TPTB are considering a cross-species romance? Anywho, Kitty should thank his lucky stars that he still gets catnip in this economy. From what I've seen, there's not such a big market for cats on sets these days. They're always so tempermental. I think Kitty needs to lose the attitude and stop phoning it in.
