#jellicle dog george

[gaylittlewizardcat]

I feel like there’s a lot of untapped potential in the idea that, just like people write Jellicles as being a clowder of cats, Pollicles are a pack of dogs; that not just any dog is a Pollicle. Also, just like some have Jellicle dog George headcanons, Pollicle cats :D

Victoria: Can we stay with you tonight?

Mistoffelees: Both of you? What happened?

Plato: Someone was playing with an ouija board and cursed the den.

Victoria: George wasn’t any help. He doesn’t know how to banish spirits, so he’s just throwing salt at them yelling “does this look like a hotel to you!?”

What's your height headcanons??

I'm gonna make it easier for myself and put everyone in catogories from the tallest cat to the smallest bean, who's totally not Jemima.

Tallest:

I don't think this is much of a surprise but Plato is definitely the tallest of the bunch (which makes the height difference between him and Vic even better). Although despite his height he is definitely also the softest cat in the tribe.

The other cats at this height are Alonzo and Macavity. Both also have very slim bodies but for vastly different reasons.

Tall:

'Jellicle cats are rather small' my ass- Anyway, on the top here we got Coricopat. He's just short enough for me to not make it into the tallest group. After him we got Bombalurina and then Tantomile being just slightly shorter than her.

Tugger, Munkustrap and Cassandra I see being mostly the same height with only centimeters being the difference. And the last two are Old Deuteronomy and Jellylorum, both of them were taller but got shorter with age.

Taller than average:

Let's keep this short (pun intended) and simple. Skimbleshanks, Asparagus Jr, Bustopher Jones and our lovely Jellicle dog George.

Average:

Starting us of we have Jennyanydots who, just like Coricopat, is just missing out on the group above. Then we have Gus and Grizabella being practically the same height. Mungojerrie comes in right after with Demeter being just slightly shorter, and last we have Rumpleteazer (Does Mungo teaze her for being shorter than him? Yes, yes he does.)

Shorter than Average:

Once again we have our sweet boy Tumblebrutus just missing out on being the average height but as he grows up he'll definitively be up there with his dads. And only because he himself refuses to be called short again we have Mistoffelees. Will he also grow taller with age? Probably not.

Short:

With Plato being the tallest it only fair for Victoria to be one of the shortest. Right, that's how it works. After her we have Pouncival and Electra being mostly the same height.

Shortest:

Now although she's here now Etcetera will definitely grow to be a lot taller, probably around Jennyanydots's height. And of course our little bean Jemima is the shortest of them all and we have Veerle Casteleyn to thank for that. I think I'll actually make another post about why I think Jemima being so short is such a good detail if anyone is interested (or even if nobody is).

Okay! I havnt been able to get your dog George hc out of my head since I read your post!! So I was wondering do you have other doggy hcs for him?? Like what bread he is or how other cats reacted when they first met him??

Thank youuu!! I appreciate that alot!!

(also just to be clear I didn't originate the george is actually a dog thing I've seen it floating around and I was just "yes" lol)

I'm gonna start with the questions you asked and ramble a little lol

I can't obviously go over every cats individual reactions but I think I'll categorize them so:

Skeptical and curious: Tantomile, Coricopat, Jemima, Victoria, Etcetera, Tugger, Asparagus and Cassandra.

It was pretty much a "who is this and why is he here?" thing for them and Etcetera in particular wanted to get up close and personal since she's never seen a dog before and figured he was a funny looking cat.

Wary/ on guard: Munkustrap, Demeter, Poncival, Skimbleshanks, Alonzo and probably Jennyanydots.

It's a dog pretty self explanatory, and judging by the way pollicles are reffered too I don't think the cats appreciate them very much. But they all warm up to him pretty much immediantly since this a really tiny pollicle.

Neutral: Bombalurina, Jellyorum, Tumblebrutus, Mistoffelees, Gus and Electra

It's like the situation happened so quick that by the time they found out it was almost over and it's like well....next. However Tumble was very insistent on meeting George and so Jellyorum had to take him to meet him, since Tumble was so sure he could Tumble better then a dog.

(more under cut)

George is an australian shepard! for refrence:

As for Doggy headcanons:

George really wanted to learn how to purr but it would always end up sounding like a growl or grumble so sometimes Tumblebrutus and Pouncival would assume he'd gotten mad out of nowehere or was just very hungry.

He did not appreciate the typical cat diet alot so he'd frequently rely on Mungo and Teazer (atleast when he was still a pup and couldn't hunt) to grab him something when they went out on a heist.

So many of jenny and Jelly's knitting pieces had gone to ruins because of George's high energy and playfulness.

Speaking of George's high energy he'd try to burn out most of it by doing tasks around the junkyard mostly helping out Asparagus.

George is deathly afraid of being sent to the pound since he loves being with the jellicles so much, so he's pretty much afraid of any kind of truck. like if he spots one or hears one his first instinct is to hide.

George isn't used to how cats carry kittens atleast when he first came to the junkyard, he thought holding them by the scruff was hurting them which led into him barking at Jelly for no reason lol. But hey it's how he met Plato and they're best buddies now. Jellyorum eventually taught George that holding kittens by the scruff was doing them no harm.

Speaking of Plato and George being besties, Plato got George to try catnip with him for the first time cause he was nervous and well it went quite well except when Asparagus caught the two giggling at nothing for hours.

Plato has lost so many naps to George, George can't help if he's bored and his first insitinct is if he can't find Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer go play with Plato. George would normally coax Plato awake by challenging him to a race or just repeatively placing a stick infront of Platoand wagging his own tail.

Though revenge is always in order and Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer will ocassionally distrupt George's naps by just bapping at his stomach or face just so he can chase them around liek old times.

George has gotten licked and groomed far too many times, mostly by Jelly or sometime Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer tag teaming. like it took the jellicle's an embarissingly long time to figure out that dogs aren't supposed to be groomed like that but by the time they did George had grown acustommed to it so they didn't really bother stopping they just introduced him to the concept of swimming more and called it a day.

In my headcanons, Munkustrap being in a polycule with 5 partners and coparenting 8 kittens and 1 dog is forever a gem to me <3

(Partners: Alonzo, Cassandra, Grimalkin, Demeter, Bombalurina)

(Kittens and dog: Desi, Butterscotch Rum, Trixie, Electra, George, Alexei, Hebe, Jemima, Sillabub)

I hc George as a blue heeler puppy bc we need jellicle dog rep

Alonzo Things Part 1

This got long but I don't regret it.

Very few cats are ever allowed inside the casslonzo/alondra den. This is Alonzo's rule, though Cass doesn't mind it- she likes to have their own space too. Alonzo likes to keep his tribe duties away from the place where he unwinds in the evening. (The demestrap family -Munk, Deme, Misto, Quaxo, Vic, Jem and Bubs- are pretty much the only cats allowed inside. Though Tugger often wanders in when he needs to fetch Alonzo)

He has a soft spot for Victoria (he hasn't a clue why, really) yes you do alonzo don't deny it you see a little of yourself in her but you had to be tough and lost that certain... innocence, almost, that she has about her and you want to protect her from the same fate but she's tougher than you want to admit like goddamn she had to be plus her grace you arent the most graceful cat in the junkyard anymore the pupil has become the master

He's good with the kittens! Most of the time, anyway. Especially the older ones.

He's a total flirt but so is Cass. They understand each other.

While he loves and respects Old Deuteronomy along with the other Jellicles, his loyalties lie with Munkustrap. Though he'd never say it out loud, if he had to choose one or the other, he'd choose Munk. Demeter and Cass both suspect this- how could they not? Old Deuteronomy knows this is the case and believes that is the way it should be. Munkustrap is clueless- and it's better that way.

Alonzo's favourite colour is dark blue.

He can't stand dogs. Can't stand them. Thinks they're a waste of space and too noisy. Not to mention slobbery.

Neither he nor Cass are interested in having kittens themselves. Alonzo is of opinion he'd be a terrible father lol.

Misto and Quaxo are his little half-brothers and they all know this. The younger two love to call him ancient. Misto knows 'Lonz can be hot-headed and tries to calm him down when Spike riles him up, much to Alonzo's annoyance. "Don't let my temper get the better of me, I know. Don't scold me, Misto."

His family is complicated and I'll explain it in another post, but Victoria is his cousin

He never wanted humans. He ran away the first, and second, and third time the tribe tried to give him a home when he was a kitten. Eventually they gave up and let him live in the Junkyard.

His favourite duty as second is organising patrols, watches and scavenger patrols! Something is just so interesting to him about pairing different cats together, seeing which cats gel well and work together efficiently and which cats are better left on watch or on separate patrols. His absolute favourite part is giving young tom- and queenkittens their first patrols (and going with them for it!). They're always so excited.

His own favourite time to patrol is the midnight patrol, much to Cass' irritation- she likes to sleep at night because that's what her owners do. Somehow, even though Alonzo is one of the quietest and sneakiest cats in the whole Junkyard, he always manages to wake her. It's almost like she has a sixth sense.

Alonzo is an average height- the cats that are taller than him include but are not limited to: Munk, AJ, Tugger, Mungo, Admetus and George. Tugger always rests his arm on Alonzo's shoulder and that's Alonzo's least favourite thing about the other tom.

He is, of course, the slinkiest cat in existence

As he's a really pretty cat, the humans always give him bowls of cream. One of the more... mischievous... things he does with the kittens is go begging and have them hide out of sight, and when the human puts out the cream or other treat, share it with them.

He really, really does not get along with Spike.

He has so many nicknames. Tugger has a load for him, he has at least three from Munkustrap, Victoria calls him 'Zo- And many of them are to do with his colouring! Munk calls him Black-and-White, Tugger has an array of nicknames (Tuxedo, Domino, Bowtie, Constable, Pinstripe, Piano) but when Spike calls him "Checkers" he means it as an insult.

Alonzo remembers hearing a whisper of a tale that's mostly been forgotten; all Jellicles have a bit of magic. At least a tiny bit of magic, though not all as flashy or strong as Misto or Coricopat and Tantomile. Alonzo half doesn't believe this, but sometimes he wonders... he's always had a connection with water... and how else could Victoria be such a gifted healer, or Munkustrap be such a good storyteller?

🎁💙💛🧠 for ur ask game

🎁 If you could give any of the ensemble cats a song, who would it be? What would it be about?

You would think I answered these questions to myself as I wrote them, but I Did Not Do That so i had to think about this one.

FIRST immediate reaction: MUNKUSTRAP! I think a song where the tribe surprises him by singing about how much he cares about everyone and how they all love him would be very cute. But I don't really think it would... I don't know, serve the story, I guess? That kind of thing seems like the type of song to happen at/after a climax and Cats has a lot going on at that point. Also I like that the two main magical cats USUALLY (glares at bway revival) are the only ones who dont sing their own songs at all.

Also I feel like such a song would be terribly similar to old d which might not be desirable. Plus, you know... munk's the narrator. The MC. it seems almost wrong for him to have his own song, as much as he deserves to have his Moment.

SECOND REACTION: the psychic twins! It's kind of funny to me how they're both plot relevant (sniffing out old deut, helping jemima) but the specifics of what their deal is is never specified. All we really know about them is that they're 'psychic', whatever that specifically is intended to mean. I'm imagining a kind of moody mysterious number, like the older version of M&R.

Actually given that thought it would kind of be cute if the criminal twins sang it. the psychic twins start up like 'we have abilities that any cat would have--' and jerrie and teazer jump in like 'THESE BITCHES READ MINDS' and they then go back and forth, leaving the audience unsure if the psychic twins are downplaying their abilities or the criminal twins are over exaggerating them, and a lot of their mysteriousness still holds fast after the song is over.

THIRD REACTION: you know those hcs that George from 98 is actually a dog who thinks he's a cat? Tbh I think a song about a silly dog who believes he's a cat would fit well in TS Eliot's book, not just the play, and it could be a fun silly number. every time one of the kittens starts to say 'but he's really a dog right?' or anything to that effect they get SHUUUUUSHED by the whole ensemble before they can say 'the d word'

💙 What's your favorite platonical ship?

I HAVE A LOT but I do love misto & munk. Misto being munk's little helper when he's a younger version of himself (and his Other Second In Command when he's older) are so cute. and you so rarely see a version of cats where the two don't seem to have a notable relationship.

💛 What's your favorite familial ship?

Misto and Victoria being siblings crept up on me. When I first got into Cats I kinda shipped them, but nowadays they're my little ballet cat sibs. They wuv each other.

🧠 Share a headcanon/theory about the show that you like!

The Jellicle Choice is heavily influenced by age. You're pretty much never going to see a young Jellicle Choice, but all the young characters sing about themselves on the ball anyways, just bc they like taking the opportunity to brag while they have an audience. (note that there are pretty much no younger-cat songs that happen while Deuteronomy is present, and Munk's personal Jelly Choice is Jenny, who's also older).

(Deuteronomy deliberately shows up to the ball a little late every year to give the Youths some time to wear each other out and have fun.)

Jellicle dog George for the art requests :]

I just want this out of my inbox

#asks

[gaylittlewizardcat]

Me: So the Jellicle cats are a clowder right? And they’re super accepting of differences in a way I wish the real world was. Of course there are things like “confidence is a good trait for a cat to have” or “you really should take good care of how your coat looks”, but if anyone deviates from what could be considered the norm, no one reacts badly to it. Being eccentric or a little out there is seen as a really cool thing among Jellicles, and having something about you that sets you appart from the rest of them, for example George being a dog and not a cat, is no issue at all! All around, the Jellicle clowder celebrates their differences and-

Some evil, angst loving part of my brain: Cryptid!Misto, as a kitten, was a little weirdo, and freaked out many others in the clowder so much that they avoided him and treated him like he was something other, something dangerous. It made him feel like an outcast among the people who were supposed to be his family, which progressively destroyed him. When the Jellicles realize they had no reason to fear him and that he was genuinely just a lovely cat with some spooky powers, it’s almost too late, and all they can do is hope to salvage what is left of his trust in them. When Jemima arrives with Demeter, and starts to display signs of cryptid magic similar to Mistoffelees’s, the clowder does it differently, and does it right, and shower her with as much love and affection as they can to make sure she knows that she is part of the clowder. Misto still only feels comfortable around a few of the clowder members, but as he does his best to watch over his fellow cryptid to make sure the clowder treats her better than they treated him (or, if they hadn’t changed, maybe even save her from them) he sees how the clowder has genuinely changed since he was a kitten. Slowly, they all start to heal.

Me, crying: Alright, okay, yeah that’s cool I guess. Mhm. Yup.

Alright, so back when I made this post, I didn’t know about the Jellicle dog George headcanon, but I wanted to find a look alike puppy for him! I also wanna go back and explain the logic behind most of my picks, so I might make more of these over the next few days

In 98, he’s brown with a white face, and his ears are pointy, obviously, so that limits the breeds he could be (ofc he could be a mutt, but it’s easiest to search by breeds) He’s pretty fluffy looking, and probably pretty small, which also narrows it down.

My favorite match is this little guy! Although George is a bit darker brown and has less white.

This George is from the olc, I believe. He’s a lot more white, almost gray, with patches of brown. His ears are hard to see, but they look a bit more floppy. He also looks less fluffy.

This isn’t the best match for him, but I chose this one cuz of the kitten ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I looked at so many puppies to do this lol

[realreulbbrband]

Ok so I’ve really been thinking about how George came about the junkyard, since I also headcanon him to be a dog instead of an actual cat. Then like I was thinking, “what cat(s) would bring a dog to the junkyard?” and here we are. 

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had frequent encounters with George before he became a Jellicle. They found his owner's house relatively easy to steal from, thanks to a convenient doggy door and a lovely meal always set on the kitchen counter. However, the owners never got the chance to enjoy that meal, did they?

Mungo and Rump did what they did best to the home. Creating a mess and grabbing whatever they pleased. Most of the time, they managed to be quiet enough not to wake up the sleeping pup. Occasionally, they would purposely knock over a vase or a bowl of fruit to startle George awake, leading to a fun chase before they made their escape.

As a pup, George never stood a fair chance against the agile pair of cats. No matter how hard he tried to stop them, they always got away, leaving George to take the blame. His owners assumed he was responsible for the messes and missing food, often punishing him by taking away his toys or making him stay outside in the doghouse.

This sparked a rivalry between George and the Calico cats. George would do his best to catch them every time, even skipping his afternoon naps, but it was always in vain. Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer would escape, and George would be left to face the consequences. The Calico cats were subtly aware of this dynamic, but to them, George was just another old Pollicle dog; a part of their playful game.

However, George's owners eventually grew tired of the constant chaos; the broken items, messes, and missing meals. They decided to send him back to the dog pound. Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer caught wind of this as they were about to commit their next heist (perhaps they overheard the humans discussing it). Rumpleteazer felt guilty about the situation, and even Mungojerrie carried some amount of remorse. Their favorite pup to mess with was about to be gone.

As George sat outside the porch, sulking to himself, he was approached by the mischievous pair. Although he wasn't exactly thrilled to see them, he didn't feel angry either. He simply wanted them to go away. George was more sad about being all alone again than being separated from that particular human family. Mungojerrie jokingly suggested they show him their huge family at the junkyard, and Rumpleteazer embraced the idea.

After some convincing, Rumpleteazer managed to get Mungojerrie on board with taking George to the junkyard, with the condition that it would be a "temporary arrangement" until they found a suitable home for the pup. George needed some persuasion since he didn't completely trust Mungo and Teazer. However, after the promises of treats and sanctuary, he reluctantly accepted. Anything would be better than sitting in a cage all day.

They managed to sneak George into the junkyard in their surprisingly large swag bag and mainly kept him hidden in their den. They did well for the first three days, but too many cats began to catch on, the "odd" scent emanating from Mungo and Rump's den, reported noises, and even rumors of barking reached the ears of the others.

Coricopat and Tantomile were the ones who discovered the truth. They managed to get Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer to confess by pretending they already knew everything. They didn't even bother hiding their intention to inform Munkustrap, who was understandably displeased. Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had essentially lied to everyone and potentially put them all in danger. But then Munkustrap saw George- a small, scared pup who couldn't be bigger than a kitten, and just wanted a home.

Although his mind labeled George a liability, Munkustrap's gut told him otherwise. He decided to allow George to stay in the junkyard, but with a condition—George would be Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer's responsibility. Which was not exactly their “temporary home” plan now was it?

Mungojerrie was more reluctant as to why it should be them, there were plenty of caretakers in the junkyard who could easily take in George but Munkustrap was insistent. The only way George could stay is if Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer looked after him, they did bring him there in the first place after all.

And so, Mungo and Rump became George's caretakers. They urged him to have a more whimsical name, but George insisted on keeping it short and simple. They played fetch with him, taught him tricks as they did, and even enlisted him as a guard dog. Munkustrap was pleased with the arrangement as George kept Mungo and Rump busy, leaving them with less time for their ridiculous pranks. Of course they did , managed to be cheeky and rope George into their mischief. Like getting him to bark to scare Tugger or using him as a distraction while they were stealing from a house.

Over time, George grew bigger than Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, and it was a bittersweet realization for the mischievous cats. They had watched him grow from a tiny puppy into a strong and confident dog, and a member of their unique little family in the junkyard.
