Jennyanydots is the Old Gumbie Cat, a sort of nanny and
housewife to the other cats, the natural mother. She takes care
of and protects the kittens, and teaches the mice and the
cockroaches good manners.
Munkustrap, Demeter, Bombalurina and Jellylorum sings about her,
and she motions the kittens to put on their mouse heads when they
sings about how she teaches the mice music, crocheting and
tatting. And when they sings about the cockroaches the other cats
appears dressed in beetle costumes. Jennyanydots tries to keep
control of them, and barely escapes an imaginary assassination
attempt by Tumblebrutus.
Her coat is of the tabby kind, with tiger stripes and leopard
spots.
She may sit and sit and sit and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat,
all day long, but when the night comes she is an entirely
different cat.
She cares deeply for Old Deuteronomy and she has a deep fondness
for Bustopher Jones. Her best friend is Jellylorum.
