Disclaimer: I do not own the CATS. Andrew Lloyd Webber is responsible for
the amazing movie. So I guess they sorta belong to him. I own the four new
cats on the block.
Summary: Set soon after the Jellicle Ball where Grizabella has gone to the Heavyside Layer. There are two new cats, owned by some people who have just moved into the town. What will happen?

(Peepilita's POV)
When Mistoffelees and I walked away from the one they called Tugger, I couldn't help but realize how cute Misto looked. We sat and talked while Sphinx hid with her new friends in the old car. Tugger seemed interested then disinterested with her. Then a cat slunk over and sat next to us.
"Ello," He said with a thick Cockney accent. "Oo are you then?"
"My name's Peepilita, what's yours?"
"Mungojerrie. Dat's what they call me. What choo doin' Misto?"
"Talking to Peepilita, where's Teazer?"
"She won' come out of 'ome. Dunno what's wrong wif 'er."
"Who's Teazer?" I asked.
"Rumpleteazer, looks like Mungojerrie, here, but she wears a pearl necklace around her neck. They are really cat burglars. But they can be all right if they try."
"Oh," I said. "I'd like to meet Rumpleteazer. She sounds like an interesting person."
"Sure she is, she's me mate, ain't she?" Mungojerrie smiled. "Come on, then, maybe she'll brighten up when she finds a friend. She don't got many."
I looked back at Mistoffelees and asked him to come back with us. He nodded and told Skimbleshanks to tell Tigersphinx where we were going. Mungojerrie led the way, into a posh part of town; he stuck his head through the cat flap and looked around. Then he told us to follow him, as no one was about.
We followed him to the little hole in the wall with a flap over it.
"Teazer! You in dere?" There was a sniffle in answer. I knew that Rumpleteazer had been crying.
Mungojerrie led us into the cosy little home and I saw Teazer lying there crying her eyes out.
"Rumpleteazer?" I asked. "What's wrong?"
"Oo are you?" She sniffled with the same Cockney accent as Mungojerrie.
"My name is Peepilita."
"What choo doin' 'ere?"
"Mungojerrie invited me and Mistoffelees to visit you." Mistoffelees had stayed outside in the yard, where Mungojerrie had gone to talk Jellicle Cat talk.
"What's wrong, Teazer?"
"You wouldn't understand." Teazer sniffled again.
"Maybe or maybe not but it would be worth getting off your chest, right?"
"Maybe. I dun know you dat well, 'ow do I know I can trust you?"
"Give it your best shot. I'm a good listener."
"Okay den. I'm...I'm...I'm wif kitten."
I looked at her. I hadn't expected her to say that.
"Mungojerrie's?"
"Course. Oo's else would dey be?"
"What's wrong then?"
"I can't look after kittens, my instincts aren't all dat good. I get antsy to go exploring after a while. And I won' be able to do dat while I gots kittens. Plus, I dun know 'ow to take care of dem."
"Maybe I could help, or some of the other female cats, who have had kittens, like Jellylorum or Jennyanydots."
"Maybe. But should I tell, Jerrie?"
"Of course. He has a right to know."
"Okay."
Teazer got up and looked out in the kitchen before telling me to proceed. We walked to the door when suddenly...
"STRAY CAT! ARGH! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" All of a sudden I felt a broom on my backside and I was swept out the door. "AND DON'T COME BACK!" yelled the woman. Misto and Jerrie were laughing. I got up dusted myself off and Teazer and I joined into the laughter before making our way to the Junkyard.
