Everyone telling Qwerty that The Rumpus Cat is just a myth, but he keeps swearing to find him.

And then he meets this tom who always happens to never be around when the supposed Rumpus Cat is saving the day...

What I'm saying is that Qwerty and Rumpus Cat (The shiki design) fall in love without Qwerty ever knowing he got his wish of being w the Rumpus Boi.

All hail and all power to the great Rumpus Cat!

This is one of my favourite things I have ever made, lol. I just love how this turned out. I made him for John Bow on the US tour to celebrate his 450+ shows with Cats. Pekes and Pollicles is one of my top favourite numbers in the show whether its the revival or the og version, so this was just a lot of fun for me to make. Maybe one day I’ll make an original Rumpus Cat for funsies.

“Please, listen to me - and don’t scoff.”

I take issue with the way RTT is described in the various wiki entries I’ve seen for him, because they like to point out that the older cats merely tolerate him or are impatient with his activities.

A) no

B) really? No

C) evidence pls

but what he says at the start of Misto’s song is kind of telling, and I think it says something about who he is.

RTT has a reputation - he’s a cat that does what he wants, when he wants, which is - every cat tbh but he wants to feel special! he jumped in on the very very end of Jennyanydots’ number which is still rude, but he a) didn’t interrupt the song itself or the story and b) no one seems surprised or upset, they just go oh! it’s RTT being RTT. and he isn’t particularly kind to Grizabella; he’s kind of sarcastic in his interaction with her, but it’s not like he’s the only one to be dismissive of her.

During the Awefull Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles, he jumps in with the bagpipes at the end and Munkustrap is exasperated - but arguably less so than when Mungojerry and Rumpleteazer get their barks out of order or when the Great Rumpus Cat enters on the wrong side of the stage. This isn’t an RTT thing - this is an everyone around Munkustrap being a goof while he’s trying to hold it together thing lol.

RTT sings Old Deuteronomy with Munkustrap - they BOTH obvs have a tremendous amount of respect for Old Deut, but RTT is the one who specifically says the village is proud of him in his decline. And when Old Deut shows up, he gets fucking psyched - RTT is a cool kid but he also gets excited about stuff! He is also the last one to officially greet Old Deut; it’s framed in a way where they kind of stare each other down, which is especially notable because RTT is standing on the pipe to be tall (I also like standing on things to be tall). But Old Deut is obviously relaxed and smiling, and RTT’s got the biggest fucking grin when he bows. It gives me cheeky “you’re not the boss of me” vibes, but he is very much accepting of the fact that Old Deut’s in charge, and I don’t think he cares much either.

RTT is also consistently pictured near Old Deut, when he’s not on stage or skulking in the shadows; shaking hands with him, or resting a hand on his shoulder, or just kind of vibing near him. He’s the one who suggests a way to get Old Deut back, to boot, so - I just don’t really get the idea that he’s got a tremulous relationship with the others. He cares SO MUCH, SO SO MUCH. He’s just also REALLY COOL.

What this tells me is that RTT does have mutually respectful relationships with a lot of the older cats; he’s also especially close to Old Deut. The kittens love him because of who he appears to be, and he’s just as goofy as the other older cats but in his own distinct way. It also tells me that he does know when to be serious and he also knows how to make that clear to his peers.

I’m still ruminating on the ‘don’t scoff’ thing, but for the most part, am inclined to believe it’s about what he’s going to suggest. imo, the cats know Misto has magic; he uses it for Munkustrap and Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat, Cat of the Railway Train. It’s never been crazy, though - lifting the trunk or turning lights on is relatively small, compared to magicking an entire person back. So I think he’s saying ‘don’t scoff, I know Misto can do it’.

Which also stands in contrast to a trope I saw when poking at fanfiction - that Misto has magic and the other cats dislike or fear him for it. I never got that vibe! The cats don’t like Macavity much but it doesn’t seem to be because of his magic so much as it is because, you know, he likes to break laws lol. And I guess because of the kidnapping and stuff. They come together once a year to decide which cat is gonna reincarnate, Old Deut’s apparently telepathic, etc etc - I think the magic is just part and parcel of who they are as Jellicles and he’s got a little more than most. It was more of a “I know you can do a cartwheel, but can you really do a backflip?” kind of vibe. He is still cheeky and exuberant during the number - but it’s coming from a place of respect and belief in Misto’s abilities.

(or he’s just hoping really hard that it’ll work, but doesn’t want Misto to doubt himself - either way, his faith is justified or his faith is what it takes for Misto to believe in himself; it gets the job done.)

Which is funny because even Misto is like “uhh” at certain points while RTT is like NO YOU GOT THIS

Anyway this is, in part, why I think RTT is going to be the next Jellicle leader rather than Munkustrap

#tuggoffelees #rum tum tugger #wow why do I have so many thoughts

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

As a big superhero and Cats fan, i sometimes like to imagine what the Rumpus Cat would be like in universe. Personally, i like to imagine it was like 60s Adam West Batman (Highly recommend, by the way, pure 60s ridiculousness) I love to imagine child Munkustrap watching superhero shows with Old Deuteronomy and collecting comics. Little kid Munk dressing up like the Great Rumpus Cat for several years for Halloween. Maybe part of why he became a protector was because he wanted to be a little like his favorite hero, The Great Rumpus Cat. Also i love the idea that he's a little bit of a nerd. (A little bit like me)

YEAHHHHH I LOVE GRC BEING AN IN-UNIVERSE SUPER HERO IN HUMAN AUS

he'd be so cheesy and silly, but Munkustrap definitely tries his little tricks that he sees on the show 😭😭😭 nerd Munkustrap is so important to me
