The Young and the Restless has viewers buzzing with nonstop drama. But now, the chaos isn’t just on-screen. Off the set, Zuleyka Silver, who plays Audra, faced a hilariously chaotic photoshoot gone wrong. And yes—her co-star this time was her moody cat, Hemi.
The Young and the Restless Star Faces Trouble Again
Fans of The Young and the Restless know Audra always finds herself in messy situations. Interestingly, her real-life alter ego, Zuleyka Silver, seems to be following the same pattern. Only this time, the drama had nothing to do with CBS cameras. Instead, it unfolded during her latest photoshoot, where Silver introduced her pet cat Hemi as her unlikely co-star.
The actress is no stranger to professional shoots. She often wows her fans with glamorous portraits and stylish spreads. But this recent shoot reminded her that working with animals isn’t as easy as it looks. Silver’s cat brought his own kind of unpredictable energy, which turned what should have been a simple session into a comedy of errors.
Zuleyka Silver decided to bring her cat Hemi into the spotlight. At first, the idea seemed adorable. She posed casually in jeans and a black tank top, curling up beside her furry friend. But the results were far from the polished images she usually shares with her fans.
Hemi wasn’t impressed with the camera, and he made his feelings known. In most of the shots, the cat looked grumpy and annoyed, creating outtakes that had fans laughing. What was supposed to be a sweet bonding moment turned into a lesson in “never work with animals.”
Silver took it all in stride, however, showing her comedic side. She captioned the photos with a hilarious description, painting Hemi as a demanding diva. According to her, Hemi was late to his call time, complained endlessly, wanted snacks, and even “yelled” at the photographer.
When Cattitude Gets Personal
As if ruining the photoshoot wasn’t enough, Silver admitted that Hemi’s bad behavior didn’t stop there. She revealed that her cat has been “biting her butt” recently. Meditation and prayer sessions have become difficult thanks to her mischievous sidekick.
In her own playful words, she joked about praying for Hemi’s deliverance. This lighthearted confession showed fans a different side of the actress. While she plays a fiery schemer on The Young and the Restless, in real life she’s just a cat mom dealing with a pet’s unpredictable quirks.

Despite his antics, Hemi isn’t just trouble. The cat is slowly becoming a star in his own right. Recently, he appeared in a fun video alongside other pets of Y&R cast members. The video recreated the show’s iconic opening, and Hemi proudly played his part.
Although he is still shy around flashing lights, Hemi clearly has potential. Fans couldn’t help but adore the outtakes, even if Silver called the shoot a total failure. With each appearance, the cat’s charm wins over more hearts. It seems Zuleyka’s pet may be following in her footsteps as an unexpected soap star.
The Young and the Restless continues to deliver drama on-screen, while Zuleyka Silver brings laughter off-screen. Her photoshoot mishap with Hemi shows fans she doesn’t take life too seriously. One thing’s for sure—Audra may be trouble in Genoa City, but at home, Hemi reigns supreme. For more fun celebrity updates, stay tuned with Soap Opera Daily.
