About the Character-
Skimbleshanks is the railway cat! He is “in charge” of the the Sleeping Car Express, and the train won’t start without him! He delights the kittens by telling them stories of the railroad, and loves to swing around around his long, brown tail to add emphasise to his stories. Skimbelshanks is likely to be Jennyanydots’ mate and the father of many of the kittens of the tribe. Most likely, would be Victoria and Jemima as daughters. Skimbleshanks has a red coat and glass-green eyes. He is of medium height, with a slender build. Skimble is an adult and is probably the equivalent of 50-60 human years.

About the Actor-
The actor who plays Skimbleshanks should be an excellent dancer. His dance is very lively and animated. The actor’s voice should be tenor, but doesn’t have to be as clean and beautiful as someone like Munkustrap’s or Tugger’s.
