Kate McKinnon and Billie Eilish: Embodying the True Essence of Cat Lovers
Kate McKinnon and Billie Eilish showcased their hilarious chemistry as cat-loving ladies on 'Saturday Night Live' Their purrfectly entertaining performance left audiences in stitches
Kate McKinnon and Billie Eilish had a purrfectly hilarious dynamic on "Saturday Night Live." McKinnon, who hosted the show over the weekend, revived her beloved character, cat lady Barbara DeDrew, for the occasion.
McKinnon, who had an 11-year tenure on the show before departing in 2022, appeared alongside Eilish in a "Whiskers R We" sketch. In the sketch, Barbara, an elderly cat enthusiast, rescues multiple felines, while Eilish, donning a wig, portrays Paw-bree Hep-purrn, helping with the adoption of cats at their "Holiday Cat-tacular."
"A cat is a gift you have to feed," McKinnon said in the sketch.
She called one cat "anAbyssinian, as in Ill be seeing him in hell for destroying my couch."
Other cats up for adoption included Mrs. Claus (who wore a hat), Maris-cat Hargitay and Cindy Claw-ford.

McKinnon jokingly wondered if Eilish was actually her daughter, as they discovered they have a lot in common. They laughed about their shared love for the movie "Tár," their favorite curse word "tush," and their mutual admiration for Mariska Hargitay.
"Sorry if I'm a bit scatterbrained, but I'm starting to think you might be my long-lost daughter," McKinnon teased.
Eilish eventually held up a guinea pig.
"This is Lula," she said, breaking character and giggling. "Lula is a British Shorthair who has deformed herself beyond recognition with plastic surgery."
Eilish advised everyone to gift Santa with cats this year, saying, "When Santas not looking, fill his bag with cats."
