CATS  -  The Story      

Hello everyone! 

Most of you who’ll be visiting us here will have heard the story of  CATS over and over and over again. And here it comes yet again, but I try to keep it short, in fact I hand it over to the Rum Tum Tugger to tell himself, since it’s his site anyway…so enjoy:

TUGGER: 

Okay guys, right, the story of CATS  takes place in a junkyard – meow! And…it’s a very nice story, you know!  Well, there you are! That’s it.  Short enough?? Hehehee!!  Just kidding ---

Okay! Imagine this, it’s the night of the annual ball! Very exciting, cause part of it is the mating ball, did you know ? Have you noticed? Real cool, trust me! Right, the Jellicles will all meet there being called by our lovely Mr. Magical Cat....I mean Mistoffelees of course. Big DEE will also be there chosing the cat that will be reborn again..Cool man! Some spiritual stuff, for those who don’t know what Reborn means. Right, we’ll tell you a little about our names then Misto calls and everyone comes running along! More or less.

 ‘course the young queen Vici thinks she’s got to be first with capturing all the attention, showing off her body - nice little body by the way….love those fluffy bits – well, Misto seems to like them too, the little bugger  *grins*   Munkus comes on first then, he’s kinda jumping in for Big DEE when he’s not there, doing a bit of leadershipping for us, to keep us under control --- got that so far? Big DEE? That’s Old Deuteronomy, the kinda Daddy of most of us. Munky introduces our lovely Jennyanydots *MUM!!!*  she does this funny dance and has a soft spot for mice and the likes, but then....!!...

…..It’s myyyyyy biiiiiiiig Entrance, really cool! Everyone looks at me. I take their breaths away! Do my Rockn Roll number, stun them all, with my cool hip-thrusts, drive the queenies crazy. Watch closely, they can hardly get over me! Oh what a wicked Tom I am!! I’m the Best, the Greatest, the Sexiest, the most Handsome of them all, they’ll make a big fuss over me…..until Griza comes alone to steal my show. We’re not very happy about her…glamour girl, left the tribe for the big world, now no-one wants her anymore, fame’s gone, and now she remembers us. Too bad, we’re not so pleased and ignore her quite a bit, so she walks off and we forget all about her, cause Busti comes hopping on for a visit, he’s really into food if you know what I mean and it shows, I dare say, but we all love him, Jenny’s got a crush on him, I’m sure. Then...the noise of splintered glass!! and our nervous Demeter calls Wolf..….gets us all scared off stage…all except me, of course, cause I was off already taking care of ladies business elsewhere. Luckily it’s only our comic-relief-pair Mungo and Rumple, the thieving rogues. But we catch them after they did their bit. A lovable pair the two of them.

 Right, like it so far? Getting too long? I try to shorten it....if I like....!

Right....Now it's time for Big DEE to drop by, hey we’re all full of respect, right, even me. Then Munkus tells a little story to entertain him, about what keeps happening over at the park with those nutty pollicles, and how Rumpuscat takes care of them. Now the Ball starts and we all do our bits prancing around. Then our friend Griza has another go at getting accepted.... but no luck there, darling.

   Instead..we ‘ll have a break at this point for you lovely guys to go to the piss-potty!

When your business’ done you come in again and you'll settle down for some deep stuff from Big DEE, yeah. Next appearance goes to Gus, the theatre cat, tells us of his time of fame and all, we love to listen, Jelly helps along the way. Then to make it easier for you to get the point, we’ll play one of his acts for you,  right, he’s the fierce Growltiger and I get to play a cute and funny Pirate!! Haha! Along with Munks, Misto, Lonz and Skimb.  Jell’ fills in as Griddlebone, wwooaahh!!! Getting really shapely there. Woohoo!!!!  Lovely story.

After Gus, we welcome Skimble, the railway cat, always looks after things on the trains, he’s like an uncle to us and very set on doing a proper job, watch him, he’ll pull your ears if your naughty. Yeah, then another crashing sound! Listen!  yeah Demi-Petal, now you got it right, it’s him alright, old Mac. Some say he is my brother, well, don’t know about that, but mum was a bit of a….well, but that’s another story. The bugger comes and grabs Big DEE with his agents and we can’t do anything about it. And all our lovely queens Bomby and Demeter are doing is sing a hymn on him, really, I say they’ve got the hots for him, specially Demeter. Where does that leave me, huh?  Well, anyway, this bugger thinks he can pretend to be Big DEE and sneaks in to kidnap Demeter, fooled all the kitten, but Dem made sure they know it is Macavity. I sneak off to a very important date, if you know what I mean *winks* while Munkustrap and Lonzie fight the guy, cruesome, if I’d known, I would’ve stayed to show him where to go. When Mac sees he can’t win he creates a short circuit and leaves us sitting in the dark. Weeeell, by that time, I’m finished with my ladies-business and I return to let them know about my friend magical Misto, right? And what you think they do? They scamper off, believe it if you can, I had a hard time calling them back to listen to me, still they do and I call the guy, and would you believe it? Magic Misto does a clever trick and gets back Big DEE. you’ll see how its done, just come along. 

   Right finally Griza’s got the cheek to try her luck again…but well if it wasn’t for Vici’s soppy heart, she may have never been accepted, but so we slowly do. after Griza throws herself dramatically on the floor, it would get to you too, wouldn’t it, and well, Big DEE thinks, she deseves another shot so she’s the chosen one….Did I tell the secret now? Was I supposed to leave you guessing till you saw it yourself? Oh, well, sorry about that,  just slipped out. Anyway, let me finish this, she’s the lucky one to get the free ride up to heavyside, and Big DEE then tells you lot about us cats and how to treat us if you wanna be our friends, so … listen carefully to that part and you won’t have any problems.  That’s what I say, and that's it! If I missed out on something, well go and see the show and tell me what it was afterward.

Right!! Tuggerine,  Sign it with Tugger then….
