Destiny appears above in a plum-colored triangle top and G-string bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. She can't get enough of those Kiwi Suits. Mind you, we can't get enough of her in those Kiwi Suits. Destiny wears Kiwis or nothing at all. Either way, it's a marvelous sight to behold when she goes for a dip. |

Carlotta appears above in a sheer lavender top and G-string bottom by Kiwi Bikinis. This one comes in both "string side" and "side tie" versions and isn't for wearing by the faint of heart - or watching by those with heart conditions... |

Shiley One more year has gone by, and Shiley Carter is one year more beautiful. Last year she turned her survivorship of Leukemia into a powerful tool for healing while she underwent a crash program in oncology nursing. (We count her as that medical professional who falls squarely in the "spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down" category.) We also got lucky enough to grab the shot at left for our Hot Survivors sister publication - where it appears as the centerfold. ("I love you, America!") Nowadays she's working in pediatric oncology at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston and doing just a little modeling on the side - for us... Yay! Expect that this time next year we'll be telling you how she's also working as a family nurse practitioner - her latest ambition. You go, girl! |
|
Tabitha Tabitha Perkins burst onto the modeling scene just this year with her very first shoot ever - as a Femcat model. Since then we've shot with her again (and tested her for Playboy magazine). No fools they, they've already taken notice and forwarded all the paperwork to get her into print with them. Whether you eventually see her there or not, for sure you'll see more of her here in the years to come. Tabitha appears at right in a red piped "girl racer" g-thong and triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |

Molly Here's our newest Texas Twister: long, lean Molly "Good Golly" Gensler. Can you believe she'd never modeled professionally at all when she put on the red "diaper wrap" suit at left? From that shoot it was a hop, skip, and jump to the pages of our 2009 calendar as a Femcat. And she's already made it clear she wants a hood to pose on and a month of her own when we shoot the 2010 calendar. Who are we to say no to that, especially when she tells us she's ratcheting up her diet and exercise regimen to make herself a better "fitness competitor?" Do you really expect us to believe she's going to get leaner and meaner than this? |
|
Eryn Here's a case where for once we beat Mr. Hefner to one of his better models. We'd like to remind all of you who've seen Florida coed Eryn Ashwyn in "Playboy's College Girls" or as a "Real American Girl" or "Busty Babe" in the Playboy "Cyber Club" that you actually saw her first right here in our 2006 calendar. This year she's back and looking better than ever as our Miss Kitty for February. Yes, we know how lucky we are to have her back, what with all the modeling she's doing all over central Florida. Eryn appears at right in a cat print G-thong side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. Meow. |

 |
Jamie Lynn Welcome Cougars and Kittens newcomer Jamie Lynn, who makes her first appearance as Miss Kitty for March. This may be her first outing with us, but she's no stranger to modeling in general, having walked many a catwalk in New York as a fashion model. We like her best in the fashion in which you see her at left. And we expect you'll see a bunch more of her in similar... um... "clothes" in the future. Jamie Lynn appears at left in a blue metallic foil G-thong string side bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
|
Diania Marie Can we ever get enough of our 2008 Kitten of the Year, Diania Marie - who's back for 2009 as our Miss Kitty for June (and as a Femcat)? It's amazing how time has flown since we first shot with Diania, then a 17 year old high school senior, in the summer of 2005. She's just turned 21 and is now enjoying college life (with a lot of modeling on the side) in north Texas. If you're lucky enough to have made the rounds of contests such as "Miss Hawaiian Tropic" in that part of the world, you've undoubtedly seen her there. If you're a Dallas resident for sure you've seen her in all sorts of local publications there. If you've read any advertising for Ujena swimwear, you've also seen her more than once most likely, as she's been on the road with them to Cancun. We're looking forward to getting her back with us in the upcoming year as well, since she's just hitting her stride and looking lovelier than ever. Diania appears at right in a wine colored G-thong side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |

 |
Chelsea Meet one of the newest Femcats, Chelsea Leiber. This is her first year with us, but it's far from her first outing as a model. She competed at the state level representing Texas at the finals of the Miss Hawaiian Tropic pageant, and she's been a Miss Darque Tan as well. These days, she's all over central Texas shooting with all the big names to rack up print credentials for everybody from Facemaker Salon to Look Swimwear. And of course, you can expect to see plenty of this pretty equestrienne, barrel racer, and CPA in advertising for our sponsor, Kiwi Bikinis. |
|
Kira God Bless casting agents who also work as scouts for Playboy magazine. When our good buddy Karen the agent/scout at Xposure 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 2008 calendar cover on her first outing. That shot was gorgeous, but you can never see enough of Kira. So this year she's back at Miss Kitty for April. Kira appears at right in a sequined orange G-string side-tie 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. She had a prominent place in the 2008 calendar as well as in much of our advertising last year. But that just wasn't enough. So we paired her up with Kira and a nice looking red '72 convertible and brought them both back. NV appears at left in a blue foil Rio bottom with triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. This is the "fuller cut" version of the blue thong you've seen on a few of the other girls this year. |
|
Chanise Here's
one more modeling first-timer, Chanise Littlefield, who cuts her teeth
as a Femcat as well as a model for Kiwi Bikinis. Chanise appears at right in a gold metallic-piped racing flag G-string bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
 |
 |
Christina After we first put Michelle Cler in print, we got a very good idea just how many of you have a thing for gorgeous Brazilian women. So we now bring you Christina Marie, also an accomplished model from south of the equator. You'll get your first look at her as Femcat. But it'll hardly be your last look if we have our way... Christina appears at left in a black-piped red foil G-thong bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
|
Dana Marie Here's another girl of whom we can say to Hef, "We saw her first." You remember her as Femcat in the 2006 calendar and later with multiple appearances as a "Miss Kitty" in 2007 and 2008. Well, she took time off from being Playboy's "Employee of the Month" to make another appearance as our Miss Kitty for May. And when we hit the shows in the DC area again this upcoming year, expect us to bring her out with us one more time. Dana appears at right in a black piped gold foil g-thong side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
 |
 |
Kerri Taylor has had as busy a year as any actress-model you could possibly name. Even the titles of her recent films (Bamboo Shark, Bikini Girls on Ice, Kill the Scream Queen) are titillating. But that's not the half of it when stacked up against the dozens of print appearances she's made in everything from XS Magazine to The Naked Book. Phew... With all that going on, we're very flattered that she took the time to wander back into our lives as our favorite cat-eared vixen. Kerri appears at left in a sheer pink-piped lavender G-string side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
|
Jaclyn Would it really be "Cougars and Kittens" without Jaclyn Renee? Of course not. So we brought her back (this time as a blonde - don't let the photo at right fool you) again as Femcat. These days Jakki still lives in San Antonio, still does a little modeling, and works as a schoolteacher in an economically disadvantaged neighborhood - which is her way of being a lot more than just a pretty face and making a big difference in the lives of underprivileged kids. Jakki appears at right in a hot pink piped checkered flag "Girl Racer" G-thong side-tie triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |

Niki We only had to run a single shot of model Niki Wormus back in 2005 to know that you wanted much, much more of her. Actually, so many folks have asked to see more of this Teutonic blonde stunner from Cincinnati that what could we do but give her the centerfold spot? Last we heard she was plying some of her craft as a model out on the West Coast - where among all her other activities, she was testing as a Playboy "Playmate." Even if you don't see her there, you can count on seeing much more of her here. And this year, you can take her out of the middle of the calendar and hang her on your wall as a mini-poster. |

Heidi Say
hello once more to Los Angeles-based model Heidi Pacot, who shares the
July page with Natasha Devi. Since last we shot with Heidi, she's racked
up credits as one of FHM magazine's "20 Hot Dates," a NASCAR
spokesmodel, and a member of the California Bikini Team.
|
|
Natasha Everyone's favorite Nepali princess is back for another outing in a bikini as our Miss Kitty for July. Back in the day, she hooked us up with so many other models that we started to jokingly call her "the sherpa," since she always took us to the places we most wanted to go. But Natasha's a spectacular destination in her own right. And a brainy one as well, having recently completed her master's degree at the University of Texas and taken over the role of marketing manager for a startup company in our home town of Austin. That said, she looks no less gorgeous in a bikini today as when she first appeared in our 2005 calendar. So four years later, she's back - and in a big way - with Heidi Pacot, above. |
 |
|
Becky Okay, we got the message. You wanted more Becky Lock. So we're giving more of her to you - this time as our Miss Kitty for August. She's been a busy girl with appearances in print and a few country music videos. But this Kentucky woman took time out to pour herself into the bikini you see at left and make one more splash in our little pool. Welcome back, Becky. Becky appears at left in a silver foil G-string bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |
|
Jen
Jennifer Johnson was back on the small screen this year revising her role as a member of the Big Brother household on CBS - and helping select and coach the new housemates of the upcoming season. She's also been spotted all over red carpets in Beverly Hills. But best of all, we spotted her with a lovely '68 Cougar restomod and put her on our September page. |
 |
 |
Allison Say a big hello to another new "Miss Kitty," Allison Brown, who graces our September page. Allison is no stranger to modeling - and modeling with cars - having been involved with NOPI and Hot Import Nights. But this was her first turn with American classics. It won't be the last for this martial artist and Humane Society animal advocate. That we can guarantee. Allison
appears at left in a "wild cherries" G-string
bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |

Michelle "M3"
Welcome back to Cougars and Kittens veteran Michelle "M3" Moore, who's been with us since our very first calendar back in 2001. Michelle has the distinction of being the only of our current models in print who can claim she's been with us all the way back to day one. She also holds the double honor of being the only car owner to have appeared in the calendar, having restored and shown a gorgeous blue '69 Cougar hardtop all by herself. If M3's not the girl of your dreams, gearheads, we don't know who could possibly be. |

Cler Miss Kitty for December |
|
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... |
|
|
Stephanie De Jane
Stephanie De Jane is so much more than just a veteran of Playboy's Book of Lingerie and Playboy TV's "Casting Calls." She's been all over the catwalks of the left coast as a runway model, making the most of every inch of her stunning six foot frame. You've seen her model clothes and sportswear for Nike as well as furs for Furrari. And if you got an invitation to some of LA's trendier parties, you got to see her model nothing but body paint. Look for her next being shaken, not stirred, as a Bond girl. Stephanie appears at right in a see-through blue lace G-string and triangle top bikini by Kiwi Bikinis. |

Bri This was the year that we got caught back up with one of our "younger models all grown up," Bri Decoskey. Longtime Cougars and Kittens fans remember her appearance with us as early as 2003, when this long, tall Dallas native was a high school senior and very mean volleyball player. Well, she's now 23 and, like Kittens Shiley Carter and Dr. Laura O, going into the medical field as a respiratory technician. Seeing her in a little blue bikini (or the zebra print she wears on the back cover) always leaves us breathless, that's for sure...

Gabriella
And one last trip around the horn wouldn't be complete without our model-turned-venture-capitalist, Gabriella Martin (our Kitten of the Year for 2003). Keep in mind that aside from modeling and taking over the financial and investment world, she's also a private pilot. So when she goes jet-setting, she's in the left seat up front, usually. She's still avidly distance running (she's a veteran of several marathons) and hitting the gym religiously to keep the figure she built when she was a competitive fitness model. And this year, she's back on our back cover to show you just what a whole lot of clean living can do for you... |
