how bout nicking a name from the musical Cats?
Admetus, a young cat, who in many productions, also doubles as Macavity. Omitted from some productions.
Alonzo, a black and white tom in most productions; in the US and the first German productions, he is depicted as being black and gold. Often considered the 'second-hand-man' to Munkustrap.
Asparagus (nicknamed Gus), the theatre cat. In the filmed version, Gus and Asparagus are two separate characters; whereas on stage the same actor usually plays Asparagus as a general chorus cat, and a younger version of Gus, up to the song "Gus the Theatre Cat", in which he portrays an older Gus, and Growltiger, then afterwards continues to play younger Gus, "Asparagus".
Bill Bailey, a young black, white, and brown male. Sometimes interchangeable with the character of Tumblebrutus. Omitted from some productions.
Bombalurina, a saucy red female, often believed to be the leader of the female "queen" cats. She is close friends with Demeter.
Bustopher Jones, a fat cat, a '25 pounder.' Dresses in a snappy tuxedo and spats. Respected by all, as the upper class "St James' Street Cat".
Carbucketty The name was one of T.S. Eliot's ideas for cat names for a "knockabout cat". Sometimes interchangeable with the character of Pouncival. Omitted from some productions.
Cassandra, a brown and cream female, with a braided tail and rolled wig. Unique and somewhat mysterious.
Coricopat, male twin to Tantomile. Both of them are intuitive or even psychic. Omitted from some productions.
Demeter, is very skittish; many of the CATS fan community believe this is due to a bad relationship in her past, perhaps a run-in with Macavity. She is close friends with Bombalurina.
Electra, an orange and black tabby kitten who seems to be friends with Etcetera as well as a fan of Rum Tum Tugger.
Etcetera, a happy, energetic kitten who is a big Rum Tum Tugger fan. Omitted from some productions.
Exotica, a female character who only appears in the filmed version, and was a role created specially for Femi Taylor.
George a young male kitten, omitted from most productions.
Ghengis or Gilbert, the leader of the crew of Siamese cats who lead to Growltiger's demise. Usually played by the actor who portrays Mungojerrie, Tumblebrutus, or Coricopat.
Grizabella, the former Glamour Cat who has lost her sparkle and now only wants to be accepted. Ultimately, she is the one chosen to ascend to the "Heaviside Layer" and be reborn.
Lady Griddlebone, A fluffy white cat, and Growltiger's lover in "Growltiger's Last Stand", where she sings "The Ballad of Billy McCaw" or the mock Italian aria "In una tepida notte", (depending on production) with Growltiger. Almost always played by the actress playing Jellylorum. Does not appear in productions which omit "Growltiger's Last Stand".
Growltiger, A theatrical character Gus recalls playing in his youth, and who appears in Gus' memory of the production of "Growltiger's Last Stand". In some productions he is portrayed as a vicious pirate; in others he's more of a parody of a pirate. Does not appear in productions which omit "Growltiger's Last Stand"
Jellylorum, Named after T.S. Eliot's cat. A female who watches out for the kittens, along with Jennyanydots. She has a close relationship with Gus.
Jemima can be used interchangeably with Sillabub. Jemima is used in most international productions including the video. Sillabub was a name created for the American productions. However, Japanese casts include both Sillabub and Jemima as different characters. The first actress to play Jemima was Sarah Brightman.
Jennyanydots, the old Gumbie cat. She sits all day and rules the mice and cockroaches at night.
Macavity is the show's only real villain. The character is a literary allusion to the Sherlock Holmes character Professor Moriarty. He executes the kidnapping of Old Deuteronomy in the second act and also attempts to abduct Demeter.
The Magical Mr. Mistoffelees, a young tom who has magical powers including the ability to create flash explosions (or bolt lightening in the filmed version, thanks to computer technology). His signature dance move is "The Conjuring Turn", which is approximately twenty-five spins on one foot. In most productions, Mistoffelees has an alter-ego named Quaxo, who appears as a general chorus cat throughout the show, and is dressed slightly differently.
Mungojerrie, half of a pair of notorious "cat-burglars", Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer. Usually plays Ghengis/Gilbert.
Munkustrap, A black and silver tom who is leader and protector of the Jellicle tribe. He also narrates "The Pekes and the Pollicles." Considered the storyteller of the tribe.
Old Deuteronomy, the lovable patriarch of the Jellicle Tribe.
Plato, sometimes used interchangeably with George or Admetus. He does a pas de deux with Victoria during the Jellicle Ball. Omitted from some productions.
Rumpleteazer, female half of a pair of notorious "cat-burglars", Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. Her name can also be spelled 'Rumpelteazer,' the spelling originally used by T.S. Eliot; this is the spelling used by most productions.
Rum Tum Tugger, the ladies' tom. His temperament ranges from clownish to serious, and often sexual depending on the production; however, he is always flirtatious, and usually portrayed as a feline equivalent of Mick Jagger, and noticeable by his wild mane.
Rumpus Cat, the great spiky haired brave cat with glowing red eyes, as mentioned in 'The Awefull Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles', seen as a heroic figure amongst the Jellicles. Does not appear in productions which omit the song "The Awefull Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles". Usually played by Alonzo or Admetus.
Sillabub, The Broadway version's Jemima, although the Japanese version contains both.
Skimbleshanks, the railway cat. An active orange tabby cat who lives on the trains and acts as an unofficial chaperone.
Tantomile, the "Witch's Cat," female twin of Coricopat. Both of them are perceived as intuitive or even psychic.
Tumblebrutus, US counterpart for Bill Bailey.
Victor, a young male. Sometimes known as part of the "Cats chorus". Omitted from some productions.
Victoria, a white kitten extremely gifted in dancing. The "official" Jellicle Ball begins with her solo dance.
Alonzo, a black and white tom in most productions; in the US and the first German productions, he is depicted as being black and gold. Often considered the 'second-hand-man' to Munkustrap.
