Jennyanydots is a mostly friendly and outgoing she-cat, a mother/grandmother-like figure who can still put on style, as is demonstrated in her dance number. She seems to have a close relationship with Munkustrap, and is also friends with Jennyanydots and Bombalurina.
There is some debate about who Jennyanydots' mate is, as she spends quite a bit of time with Skimbleshanks, but is obviously attracted to Bustopher Jones.
She is fiercely protective of the kittens, and seems to distrust both the Rum Tum Tugger and Grizabella. She does not participate in the Macavity dance number, but (in the movie) later helps to fight him off.
Like Skimbleshanks, Jennyanydots is initially a fun and easygoing character, but can also be a strict disciplinarian. She has made a docile knitting circle out of the badly behaved mice, and a "troop of well-disciplined helpful boy scouts" of the "idle and wanton" cockroaches.
Useful Facts About the Role
Jennyanydots is a soprano, who shows off her skill by hitting a high C during "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats". She leads a tap dance and participates in many group numbers.
Like Grizabella and Old Deuteronomy, Jennyanydots can be played by a wide age range.
