Rumpleteazer

Her name is spelled two different ways: Rumpelteazer

& Rumpleteazer. Rumpleteazer is used most often. She is shown as a young, high-energy,mischievous kitty. It is unknown as to whether she is still a kitten or a full-grown adult cat. (I think of her as teenager age, 14-17 years old) The relationship between Rumpleteazer and Mungojerrie is not known. Rumpleteazer sometimes joins the other kittens as they swoon over Rum Tum Tugger. She is rarely shown doing this in the film, but often in smaller productions. She also will sometimes takes Etcetera's hysterical squealing role if there isn't an Etcetera casted.

It is a matter of much debate as to whether Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are siblings or mates. It is thought they are mates as they dance together during the mating dance, however their interchangeable appearance as referenced in the poem and closeness can be explained as their being siblings. Many fans think of them as brother and sister over them being mates. Their coats are very simalar, shown as orange, black, and white calico or tabby cats. Mungojerrie's coat is darker and more heavily striped while Rumpelteazer's is paler. It is suggested that they live in a house with a family of middle or upper class. She wears pearls around her neck (stolen from the family,) they also have a chef and a library with a Ming vase in it. It is not confirmed however. Even though she gets into trouble no one, (cats or humans) seem to hold a grudge on her. She is easily forgiven by all.
