Tails of Broadway: Jamie deRoy Has a Purrrrfect Pair in Harpo and Chloe!

After a long week of treading the boards, what better way for performers to unwind than with the affection of a furry friend? In BroadwayWorld's Tails of Broadway, photographer Jessica Fallon Gordon is capturing priceless moments between Broadway's brightest stars and their pets.

In this edition, meet Broadway producer Jamie deRoy's kitties, Harpo and Chloe!

Pet's name: Harpo (the older one) and Chloe

Origin of name: Harpo was named because he has such a small meow that all I could think of was The Marx Brothers and Harpo! My Harpo doesn't have a horn though! He also doesn't have much of a voice. After Tigger - it seems very quiet here.

Chloe was named after my dear departed friend Clovis Ruffin (July 14, 1945 -April 7, 1992), an award winning fashion designer who we lost to AIDS.

Breed: Both are Tabby

How long have you owned: Harpo turns 3 years old on April 5. I got him about at 5 months.

Adoption story: I lost my Bengal Tigger at almost 20. He was such an amazing cat. Smart and cuddly, practically spoke! It took awhile to get over him, but I missed not having the company of a cat, so Bonnie at NYHS had her eye out for me. I had recorded a CD: Animal Tracks with all the proceeds going to them! I adore The NY Humane Society.

Chloe I happened to see on Facebook as my friend Lauren Molina was fostering 3 kittens from the ACC (Animal Care Center)- I went to Lauren's to meet Chloe the night THE CHER SHOW opened on Broadway. I fell in love - which was no surprise. Lauren, like my assistant Sandy Trulinger, is so great with animals. Chloe is sweet, smart, energetic and cuddly. I had to wait til she got o be a bit over 2 pounds, so I adopted her at 9 weeks old!

Favorite thing to do with your pet: Have them curl up on my lap or cuddle with them. Usually it's one at a time. At night Harpo can be cuddled at my knees and Chloe either on me as we watch Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers or by my face! She has a great purr.

The naughtiest thing your pet has done: Harpo picked up $20 bill in his mouth and walked away with it. Chloe stole an earring out of my jewelry drawer!

What would your pet's catch-phrase be: "Play with me then feed me!"

Fun Fact: Cats sleep a lot! If there is a next life, I would like to come back as a cat!
