The Kitties were back in the Oasis Junkyard yesterday after a long journey towards Europe.

Kane Verrall as Skimbleshanks was all smiles.

Noah Lindquist as Rum Tum Tugger cannot get away from someone looming behind him, in the form of Nick Woodford as Munkustrap.

Excitement builds for the return to the Junkyard, after a week of understudy makeup.

Please tell us more about baby Sillabub (when you have the time, of course)! :)

Sillabub was born tiny and frail - almost concerningly tiny. She was what Jellylorum refers to as an “day lark” - a touch too eager to open her eyes, dark like her father’s, to greet the dawn. And Sillabub is very much the morning where her sister is the night - awake before everyone else, but an easy night sleeper, compared to Jemima who is a night owl but cranky and difficult to wake in the morning.

She shot up very *very* quickly though, with her legs growing before the rest of her body could catch up. So you just had this kitten giraffe toddling around, tripping over her own paws, falling face first into the dirt, taller than Pounce even though he was older than her (and he *did not* appreciate that). She also had difficulty gaining weight, though she ate well enough, and was sick often.

Munkustrap was the one who came up with her name, after Jemima parroted that her baby sister was a "silly little devil" (guess which elder cat she heard that one from?) for constantly trying to crawl out of her bedding and escape (she ran her parents ragged - they had to be on rotation duty because Silly was *fast*).

(He had to clarify to Alonzo that it was a playful thing because his response was very much in line with: “I’m sorry - you named my kid after the devil?” - as Demeter laughed).

---

Sillabub sees the cloudy colours around others' ears, just like 'mima can, but she can make no sense of them yet. She pulls her ears, trying to catch the clouds in her claws to look at, but they disappear before she can grasp them. Her sister tells her that she can use that to help cats - but that not every cat could or wanted to be helped.

Her mama gently rubs the flesh of her black ear between her paw pads, and Sillabub widens her eyes the same way she does when she talks with her. She tells her secrets, in not so many words, that Sillabub does not quite understand yet, but remembers. She spends most of her days curled at her side, in the dark, but she wants for nothing. She is fed, she is content; the world outside is a story and a game her mama likes to play with her - the world is far smaller than she thinks; mama tells her she holds it all between her paws, and kisses Sillabub, then Jemima.

Sillabub loves birds. Her papa takes her to watch them early in the morning when the world is still asleep, even though mama tells him he shouldn't, pointing to them and telling her to look in his rapid singsong way, with words he saves special for her and Jemima. Mir, mir, mir, she mewls back in clumsy imitation and he smiles at her. The word for little bird is long for such a tiny thing, Sillabub thinks, and the name he softly coos at her when she rubs her sleepy eyes sounds like "puppet". Papa promises her that when she gets big and stronger that he'll teach her to catch the birds, like a grown up cat. He'll teach her everything she needs to know, and somethings, he hopes, she won't. She’ll have everything she needs. She sits in the circle of his arms and listens and purrs, dozing back to sleep. When she wakes again, she's back home.

Sillabub is curious and "mischievous" , whatever that means. Dada sings to her while he keeps time on his morning watches, ensuring she doesn't fall from his back. He takes her to the pond in the afternoon, letting her dip her little paw in the sun warmed water to touch the rays of sunshine. He tells her about how something he calls "salmon" swims upstream (she's never seen one), and how there are millions and millions and millions of creatures that live in the water. But Sillabub is not one of them, he clarifies, licking her ears until they aren't clogged with pond water anymore. She gets her first collar after that - something to grab onto when two seconds is just enough, because she *is* still as slippery as a fish.

This is a report on Cats by Shiki Theater Company, which was performed in Nagoya on April 28, 2024.

At Shiki Theater Company's Cats performances, Tugger always performs some kind of performance after the performance, and then concludes with a performance. The performance is different every time, which is part of the fun of watching Cats.

On this day, Tugger, played by Masaru Kitamura, was performing as usual, when a little girl sitting somewhere yelled, "Mommy!! That person is so cool!!"

To my surprise, Tugger was taken aback for a moment before he hid his face in one hand and smiled shyly.

And he was surrounded by warm applause from the theater audience.

The number of people who were captivated by Tugger, played by Kitamura, must have increased that day. I'm one of them.

Another day at sea means that there is plenty of time to try out something new once more for Regan Jackson.

This time he is Mungojerrie, and he has a different partner than his usual Coricopat, with Josie Harbertson, who plays Sillabub, as Rumpleteazer.

As the Oasis of the Seas moves from Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona, the Cast onboard is left to relax and try out some new things.

Regan Jackson had a go at Munkustrap, a departure from his usual Coricopat.

Meanwhile, Dani Ciaramitaro sees her Rumpleteazer probably for the first time.
