Growltiger and Griddlebone

¡@

He was not a Jellicle cat, he was not Macavity's henchman, either, he was a cat in a story which Gus, the Theatre Cat once performed.

Growltiger was a  bravo cat,   he was dubbed as "The Terror Of The Thames".  His manners and appearance didn't calculate to please, his coat was torn and seedy.  He hated the cats of foreign races and names very much due to his Siamese enemy Gilbert who once mauled one of his ears.

He had some raffish crew (ordinarily played by Munkustrap, Rum Tum Tugger, Skimbleshanks, Mistoffelees, and Plato) who worked for him.

He met a lady called Griddlebone (who was played by Jellylorum) on a peaceful summer night, he fell in love with her immediately.  They disposed to relaxation and weren't aware that the Siamese came creeping in their sampans and their junks.

When Gilbert have the signal to his fierce mongolian horde with frightful burst of fireworks the chinks they swarmed aboard, Giddlebone quickly disappeared because she was badly scared.  Growltiger fought by himself and was killed at last. (Don't be sorry about him, it's just a story which Gus and Jellylorum played)

The original design of Growltiger from John Napier
