The Humiliation of the Rum Tum Tugger

The Humiliation of the Rum Tum Tugger

Written by Munkustrap Kitty, Liotale, Sadie, Electra2, Lady Munk (with Purrhead), and Pouncivette


Arabesque and the other psycho kitties approach The Rum Tum Tugger as he lounges in the sun on top of an old car in the junkyard. Pouncivette giggles loudly.

"Shhhhhh!" Arabesque hisses.

"Come on," Liotale whispers, "You're on, Electra."

Electra approaches Rum Tum Tugger, forcing a dazed and lusty look on her face.

"Uhhh... Rum Tum Tugger?" Electra says.

"Oh, no, no Electra! Go away, little kitty!" Tugger groans.

Electra forces a look towards the group that purely says "What do I do?"

"Just act natural," Arabesque says.

"Natural?" Electra whispers. The others all giggle. "Don't say it," Electra warns. "Kay," Liotale says. "Start talking to him."

"Ask him a question where he has to think really hard," Pouncivette giggles.

Lady Munk sees how petrified the younger Jellicle was and whispers to her kitten, "Distract him, Purrhead!" the small kitten makes her way over to him, purring loudly, with a friendly smile on her cute little face. He is bemused by her loud purr, and lets himself listen to it, until he once again drops off into sleep. The black female cat gestures to the rest of the naughty kitties, and they all slink foward; some carrying ribbons, some with baby gloves, others with items she couldn't see. Purrhead had a diaper that she had hidden, thinking to do something creative with it. When the others froze at Tugger's sleepy twitching, Lady Munk carefully chucked him under the chin until he settled, and then, carefully, she spears a green olive on each spike of his collar, hoping that the sharp smell of brine wouldn't wake him. Purrhead hands her the diaper, which she places over his face lightly, so the others could then take their cracks at him.

Sadie runs up behind everyone, holding a big pink ribbon over her head. It is tangled up in her claws. "Hey, everybody! I brought the ribbon!" she yells. "Shhhh!" the cats hiss at her. "Oh, okay. sorry," she whispers back.

While the others have fun doing things to Tugger's wardrobe, Arabesque has fun playing through his hair. He seems pretty much asleep so she searches through it to see if it is really glued on. It isn't. Pouncivette gasps. "you mean that hair is real?" she asks in amazement. Giggling, Arabesque nods.

Trying to keep her laughter as silent as possible, Pounci places the bonnet and bib on Tugger and ties the ribbon securely. "Oh, and look what else I got," she said with a wry smile. From behind her back so took out a tube of pink lipstick.

Arabesque's eyes widended as she saw the lipstick. Then she started giggling uncontrollably. Pounci handed the lipstick to Liotale, who cautiously approached the sleeping tom. She slowly and carefully added pretty pink lipstick to Tugger's lips. "How does it look?" she whispered. "Absolutely purr-fect," Lady Munk giggled. Meanwhile, Purrhead had a wandered off to find Bombalurina. Putting a blindfold over her eyes, Purrhead lead the cat to where Tugger was sleeping.

"Now all we need is for Mistoffelees to kick the ball at him," Pounci whispered. Suddenly... POOF! Misto appeared. He took one look at "pretty kitty" Tugger and collapsed in laughter. "What's so funny?" Bombalurina asked. Purrhead removed the blindfold and Bombalurina also started to laugh.

"Hey, wait a second!" Sadie whispers. "I have to put the ribbon on!" She ties the ribbon into a big bow around Tugger's tail, being careful because it was twitching in his sleep. "There!" she giggles, covering her mouth with her paw to keep from making too much noise. "Oh, I wish I had a camera!"

"Hey," Electra giggles. "Look- pink fur color!"

"You do the honors, Electra!" Arabesque says a bit loudly. "Okay..." she sprays a little pink curl in his fur. Misto watched intently. "Here, put some here!" He cries. The Jellicles are laughing, when Sadie whispers, "Where's the ball?"

POOF! Misto made the ball appear.

"Kay, Misto," Liotale manages to gasp between fits of laughter. "Hit him with the ball."

"On his head, if you can," Pounci laughed.

With his magic, Misto hit Tugger on the head.

"WHAT in the world?," he hisses.

He suddenly sees his claws- he has fake nails paintd purple with pink polka-dots a last minute addition by Arabesque. He looks at the Jellicles, who are trying not to laugh. He touches the various accesories that are on him- his paws touching the lipstick last. Staring at his paw with lipstick, he roars, "What have you done to me?"

He lunges suddenly, and the naughty kitties scramble away from him, running in different directions.

"You'll pay for this!" he screams at them. The CrAzY Kitties dissapear into the Junkyard, giggling amongst themselves...

The End
