neither Demeter or Munkustrap really had any parents growing up. in Demeter's case, Grizabella spent most of her time outside of the junkyard without Deme, and her father was unknown. and while Tugger, who for all practical reasons was her brother, had his mom in the junkyard (i'm thinking it might be Jenny but not sure yet) and whoever his mother was would have been more than happy to "adopt" Demeter too, Deme never let her. and Deuteronomy probably could have been a parent, but he wasn't for any of his children, instead being much more of a grandpa/leader of the tribe rather than a father. so all in all the closest thing she had to a parent (in terms of like, raising her) was Munkustrap
whereas for Munk, the above about Grizabella and Deuteronomy were the same for him. unlike the Demeter, however, he was more willing to let other cats raise him so i think he was co-raised by most of the other adults in the tribe, although it never fully replaced having a parent
