Mungojerrie

Mungojerrie is a character from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, Cats.

Appearance
Mungojerrie is an orange, brown, and black tiger tabby cat, who wears a vest and stockings when singing his and Rumpleteazer's number, giving the two thieves an almost identical look.

Personality
Mungojerrie is a trickster cat, often described as knocking over Ming vases and stealing things from his human family with Rumpleteazer. He is mentioned as a rumoured agent for Macavity, but it seems he specializes in only petty theft. Despite his criminal activity, he is generally received well by other cats; many productions show other cats finding his antics irritating or amusing, with the more mature Jellicles showing disdain.

Role

 * "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. Male-female duo. Strong dancers with acrobatic ability and excellent voices. High baritone for Mungojerrie and high belt for Rumpleteazer. Lots of personality, young, full of energy, impudent and cheeky."

Mungojerrie has a song of his own that he shares with Rumpleteazer (aptly named "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer") as well as a number of lines in other group songs. In some productions, he and Rumpleteazer are both queens or toms. But in most productions, they are male and female. However he is not one of the biggest roles in the show. He is often seen with Rumpleteazer.
