Mungojerrie

Mungojerrie is the male half of the notorius cat-burgulars Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. He sings the song 'Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer,' along with Rumpleteazer.

Costume
His costume is an orange, brown, and black tabby cat, and a vest and stockings are added when singing his and Rumpleteazer's number, giving the two thieves an almost identical look.

Relationships
The relationship between Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer is unknown. They have been described as siblings or twins, becuase of their similar costumes, but they also dance the mating dance together. Some speculate that they are both siblings and mates, while others believe they aren't related at all.

Characteristics
Mungojerrie is a trickster cat, often described as knocking over Ming vases and stealing 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.

Song
There are two versions of the song Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. The London version is slower and has a more jazzy sound, while the more common version is more upbeat. In the original broadway production, the song was sung by Mr. Mistoffelees, and was danced by the actors playing Coricopat and Etcetera, as puppets made out of junk that appeared from the trunk of the car set piece, brought to life by Mr. Mistoffelees.

The costumes for this number also change slightly, as Mungojerrie adds a vest and stockings. It is a very popular song, because of the "double windmill" performed by the two singers at the end of the number.
