History:
(Misty#1) - High schooler Misty Collins rushed to get
ready for school, cheerfully picking up her pet cat Cuddles, which
belligerently dislike it. The next night, Cuddles watched as
Misty was upset about a damaged dress for a talent contest. Cuddles was
glad she had only the one fur coat as Misty tried multiple replacement
outfits.
(Misty#3/1) - Misty had scored a role in a soap
opera TV show and laughed when the rumored "hot scene" involving her
romantic crush Ricky Martin turned out to be a fire rescue. She laughed
so loudly watching it on TV at home that it scared off Cuddles.
(Misty#3/2) - Cuddles lay annoyed at the giggling
noise from the chatting and gossip from Misty and her friends Shirelle
and Spike in Misty's room. Cuddles later watched them leave.
(Misty#4/2) - Cuddles slept on the couch as Millie
went through a portfolio of her various hairstyles with Misty from when
she was a young model.
(Misty#5/3) - Cuddles sat disinterred as Misty
canceled dinner with her father and aunt so she could go out with her
friends. When Misty returned home late, Cuddles was asleep on Millie's
lap.
(Misty#6/2) - Cuddles heard Misty complain about her outfit shrinking after washing. Cuddles thought Misty silly as the cat washed herself and her fur never shrank.
(Misty#6 pinup #2) - Misty's friend Spike, an amateur
clothes designer and seamstress, borrowed Cuddles for a weekend of
dress-ups. Cuddles was unimpressed with the cute outfits she was forced
to wear.

Created by Trina Robbins.
As with the classic "Millie the Model" and similar comics, the issues included full pages of paper dolls that could be cut out and preprinted clothes attached; the designs were usually submissions (really in Misty's case, in case you were skeptical like me) and featured all the major characters, including Cuddles in issues #5 and #6 (shared with designs for Millie and Misty's friend Spike, respectively).
