Coricopat and Tantomile


There isn't much to say about Coricopat and Tantomile that hasn't already been covered in Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. Let me see what I can come up with...
Coricopat and Tantomile are also very close, maybe even closer than Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. They always move, sing and speak in exact synch with each other. They are quieter, more thoughtful, than Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. Like Quaxo, they sense Grizabella and Old Deuteronomy before they arrive. Interestingly, they fail to warn the Tribe of Macavity's sudden appearances.
As with Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, there is debate over whether they are siblings or mates, for basically the same reasons, except that they do not have their own song.
They are quick to pick up on hidden meanings in cats' words. They are the only cats to understand Old Deuteronomy in "The Moments of Happiness", and somehow convey his message to Jemima.
Both are initially hostile to Grizabella, but eventually accept her. Tantomile seems to admire the Rum Tum Tugger, although not as much as the kittens. Coricopat doesn't really like him.

Useful Facts About the Roles

Coricopat and Tantomile dance with everyone else. Because they almost always move and sing together, it is important to have a good connection with the other. Tantomile is a soprano and Coricopat is a tenor (I think?).
