Description I drew the two cats from Cats musical as anthros

____

The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mr. Mistoffolees conjuring turn

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats

They had an extensive reputation
Made their home in Victoria Grove
That was merely their center of operation
For they were incurable given to rove

If the area window was found ajar
And the basement looked like a field of war
If a tile or two came loose on the roof
Which presently ceased to be waterproof

If the drawers were pulled out from bedroom chests
And you couldn't find one of your winter vests
Or after supper one of the girls
Suddenly missed her Woolworth pearls
Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat!

It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!"
And most of the time they left it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had an unusual gift of gab
They were highly efficient cat burglars
As well and remarkably smart at a smash and grab

They made their home in Victoria Grove
They had no regular occupation
They were plausible fellows who liked to engage
A friendly policeman in conversation

When the family assembled for Sunday dinner
Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner on
Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes

And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow
"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow
The joint has gone from the oven like that!"
Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat!

It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!"
And most of the time they left it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had a wonderful way
Of working together
And some of the time you would say it was luck
And some of the time you would say it was weather

They'd go through the house like a hurricane
And no sober person could take his oath
Was it Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer?
Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

When you heard a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
Or down from the library came a loud ping
From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming
Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat?

It was Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!"

Lyrics from: Cats - Mungojerrie and Rumbleteazer

WHY COULDN'T THEY LOOK LIKE THAT IN THE MOVIE?!

I love the musical so much, but the movie was trash due to the CGI and I would've liked the movie if it were more like the musical.

Say, do you think the musical would be better if it were animated?

Naah, I think it's pretty damn cool preformed x3 Although I still want to see it live at england - I've seen the finnish version xD
But an animetad one would probably be pretty neat to see too :3

That part of the song always baffled me, why is it there when M has his own song and really nothing to do with RT and MJ's song? But I do soooo LOVE the picture!

Sorry to butt in- but I know why.
In the original Broadway production of Cats, Misto actually uses his "magic" to cause bits of junk to dance around, and he tells the story of MJ and RT to entertain Bustopher. If I'm not mistaken, it was Etcetera and Coricopat who put on extra costume pieces and played RT and MJ...So yeah! It was just to show that he was using magic, I suppose.
They later changed things back to Mungo and Rumple being actual characters, as the London had it, and the extra lyrics were dropped.

It's actually an interesting question, I never really paid attention for why it is there O.o
