I also need you all to realise that, as Aus tour Rum Tum Tugger, Des Flanagan made the presumably deliberate choice that his initial 'meow' wasn't a meow or a rrrrrrow or anything like that, it is very clearly and obviously the drawn-out frustrated yowl of a female cat in heat.
Which would explain why he's so rowdy for this number then (mostly) calm for the rest of the night once he's gotten it out of his system (and got knocked up with Grizabella's next incarnation I guess). Anyway, trans Tugger rights.
