Gus

Gus (the Theatre Cat), aka Johnathan, is a character from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, Cats.



Gus appears shortly after the start of Act II of Cats where he and Jellylorum provide highlights of his career, contrasting his present state with his acting heyday. In that time, it was claimed, "He has acted with Irving, he's acted with Tree." He and Jellylorum stress in particular his creation of the role of Firefrorefiddle, the "Fiend of the Fell".



The actor playing Gus the Theatre Cat (Sir John Mills) was too elderly to play throughout the whole show. This has led to many fans believing they are different characters.
