Not that anyone asked, but my favourite lyric from Cats the Musical is in Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat, which go

"Then the guard looked in politely,

And would ask you, very brightly:

'Do you like your morning tea--'"

"'WEAK OR STRONG?'"

Like. I don't know, man. The fact that the kittens know exactly what he's about to say makes it feel like he's told this story a hundred times before, and they all know it by heart, and they're still so excited to hear it again. They're enjoying their story!!! It doesn't matter that they've heard it all, it's fun and their grandpa is funny and nice!!! And he's so surprised to be interrupted but so happy to go on with the story... It's such a sweet little thing.

It genuinely unironically makes me emotional.

some cats HCs

• Skimble hates getting his paws wet (it would track through the train) so on rainy days he stays inside the train and just orders people around from the doorway

• Bustopher brings Misto empty oyster shells, and Misto crushes up the shiny inside part to put in his fur (it’s how he sparkles)

• Teazer steals pretty bits of lace, jewelry, hat pins, etc. for Victoria, but she’s too nervous to give them herself so she has Plato do it

Everyone's favorite railway cat

Me for no reason at all this week: Mr Scott the engine cat, the cat of the engine room, there’s a whisper down the line at 11:39 when the Enterprise is ready to depart, saying “Scotty, Where is Scotty ? Has he gone to use the potty ? We must find him or the ship can’t start” all the guards and all the yeoman and the stationary crewmen would be searching high and low saying “Scotty, Where is Scotty ? For unless he’s being naughty then the enterprise just can’t go” at 11:42 with the signal overdue and the Doctor very frantic to Captain, that’s when I would appear and then saunter to the rear, I’d been busy in the transponder room-
