Wilma Wildcat shares grooming secrets, dirt on Wilbur's habits, fantasies of devouring Sparky

WILDCAT: Your fur has to be hot.

WILMA: Yes. Especially during the game.

WILDCAT: Is your fur very easy to manage and groom?

WILMA: I shampoo and condition it everyday. It's nice because I don't have to blowdry it.

WILDCAT: What would happen if you did?

WILMA: I'd turn into a fuzzball.

WILDCAT: What's Wilbur's most annoying habit?

WILMA: He has so many. He picks his teeth at the table. He's such an animal.

WILDCAT: Does he use his claws?

WILMA: Yes.

WILDCAT: Do you have any special rivalries with other female mascots?

WILMA: Not that many; there aren't very many other girl mascots. But if there was, there would be a catfight.

WILDCAT: Have any of the other mascots tried to hit on you?

WILMA: Sparky. But he only does it to get on Wilbur's nerves.

WILDCAT: If you were in a video game and had to use a weapon against Sparky, what would you choose?

WILMA: His pitchfork. I would have to use his own weapon against him.

WILDCAT: What's your favorite food?

WILMA: I love devil's food cake, like Sparky, and being able to devour him. I would also say any kind of catnip.

WILDCAT: Ever had a dream that you were swimming in a big vat of catnip?

WILMA: Yes, and I almost drowned, but then I started eating it.

WILDCAT: How did you and your hubby meet?

WILMA: We were both students at UA, and we are very unique in the way we look so there was an instant attraction.

WILDCAT: Any Wildkittens in the future?

WILMA: No; not yet. We're just going to focus on supporting UA teams and events.

WILDCAT: Do you think Olive Oyl should have married Popeye or Bluto?

WILMA: Popeye seems more caring and he eats veggies. Bluto seems violent.

WILDCAT: Do you think she was really worth fighting over?

WILMA: Well, there's not too much meat on her bones, but I guess they like that.
