As the youngest and smallest of the jellicles Jemima is
constantly watched over by the other cats. She is the typical
kitten, sweet and mischievous, and is usually found with the
other kittens. And like them she is obsessed with Rum Tum Tugger.
She has "gone trough" some life changes that makes her
act older than she is, tough it's not said what this changes are.
Jemima has a kittens innocence, but also has a wild side (witch
mostly shows during Tugger's song). But this young kittem also
possesses a great emotional understanding of the world around her,
perhaps because of the earlier mentioned life changes, and is
alway extending a friendly paw. She is totally open and
unprejudiced about everything. She is sometimes found apart from
the rest of the kittens pondering about life.
And she is the only cat who apart from Old Deuteronomy truly
understands what happiness is.
She is very fascinated by Grizabella and seems ready to accept
her, but Skimbleshanks and Jennyanydots keeps an eye on her and
stops her whenever she comes to close to Grizabella.
Kittens may know best however because it's she and Victoria who
helps the other cats gradually accept Grizabella.
