Cat! I'm a fan! and I never really got into the details of Prince's life, I can't imagine how hard his passing must have effected you. It will get easier, I can say that with confidence, and I'm living proof.

I've been listening to his music as I went about my life; for the past year and a half or so, I have felt empty without him in our world. I see things and hear things that sometimes break me down. A song, a video, an interview will sometimes touch my inner heart and I'll tear up down with sadness. I then will think about you, and how involved you were in his life, and I take my sadness, times TEN, and I imagine that's how difficult this all must be for you. Once I show a bit of empathy inside, I wish I could do something for you. I love you Cat and thank you for giving our Prince some happiness.

There are moments in my life that I can recall some very happy times with my family. My question to you: Can you recall that one story that Prince had you rolling with laughter so hard that it hurt to laugh because you were laughing so much? What was that moment? Share with us a great great story that will being us all joy and happiness.

Love you Cat! Call me!

I have to start visiting the other boards more because I cannot believe that I almost missed this!

Hi Cat! Thanks so much for doing this. No shade intended towards any others but of all Prince's dancers, you were my favorite because y'all always looked to me like y'all were having so much fun together.

I remember the first time I saw the SOTT movie and saw this:

It was the slickest move I'd ever seen. Still to this day it's in my top 10. But my question is about the dance you did for Glam Slam during the Love Sexy concert. At the end, after y'all did that fabulous spin and you and Prince bowed to each other. He pulled down his blind-fold thingy and kind of looked at you in awe, then it looked to me like he said something to you. If it's not too much to ask, what did he say? I've really always wanted to know.

Thanks again for doing this and take care!

Hi guys I just wanted to jump on real quick before the thread closes and thank everyone for the questions that they have submitted to Cat. Appreciated.

Thank U

Cat in 1997 Chris Rock asked who would be in his fantasy dream band

and he started saying Wendy Lisa Sheila Rhonda ...

and a year later he put hidden messages in his video for 'The ONE'

and one of the messages #6 says Wendy Lisa Sheila Cat Susannah Rhonda Marva

did you know this?

Did Prince talk to you at all in the latter 90s period about rejoining his band?

He was gearing to reform the Revolution for the Roadhouse Garden album

Hi Cat! I hope you are doing well. In my opinion, you are the best dancer Prince had. I love watching footage of you from the SOTT and Lovesexy tours. Your energy was contagious!

I read the story of how you came to dance with Prince, but how did you start singing/rapping for him? Did you mention to him that you were a singer? What was it like working in the studio with him?

Your body around this time was the truth! I'm sure dancing kept you in shape, but did you have any other workout regimen? You are my body goals

I know you had your reasons for leaving the band, but I think if you had not left Prince would have had you around for a long time. I obviously don't know either of you, but you two had this great chemistry.

Thank you so much for sharing with us!

Yes Cat you absolutely were his energy match on the dance floor, you gave it and you could see in his

face he was like Dang!!!!!! Thank you for that!!!

Hi Cat,

..

I hope you don't mind, after chatting with a friend, I have another couple of questions.

..

1) When you joined Prince and became part of the SoTT era, it felt as though this was a long way from the Purple Rain era. The time gap felt larger than it really was because of Prince's numerous musical, artistic and stylistic changes between 1984/5 and 1987, and the sheer quantity and quality of his output. Did it feel to you as though you were a long way from the Purple Rain era?

..

2) I have many different images of Prince from over the years, in different songs, videos, interviews and performances. Yet sometimes, the general public remain most aware of Prince in terms of his Purple Rain image and character. Given this, when you met and worked with Prince, how similar or different was he to the Prince depicted in Purple Rain, and how similar or different was he to how you imagined he would be?

..

3) Did you ever see Prince record his vocals for songs in the recording studio? I've read that he often preferred to be alone whilst doing this.

..

4) Did Prince ever discuss his thoughts on or the inspiration behind his Camille persona to you?

...

Thank you again for taking the time to answer our questions. It is much appreciated.

Hey Cat! Thank you for doing this.

2 questions for you.

1. When you knew him, was Prince as outwardly socially conscious like he was in the recent years before he died?

2. Did you ever get a chance to watch Prince record a track from start to finish by himself? If so, which song was it? Released or unreleased.

Hey Cat I'll talk to you on facebook.

In addition to all your timeless work on Prince's records and tours, I truly believe you are a part of cinematic history with your central role in the masterpiece Sign o the Times film. I read somewhere that you and Prince edited much of the film together yourselves. Is this true? Could you describe what Prince was like as a filmmaker, particularly behind the scenes? How did he know what the "great" material was and how did you work with him on putting this all together?
