Jennyanydots, Mistress of Seduction
by Leri


Jennyanydots. The nanny. The old Gumbie Cat. The motherly kitten producer. The nurse. The 
vamp.

Aha, that got you, didn`t it! Yes, I Jennyanydots, the one and only temptress of the 
jellicles. It isn`t the first thought that springs to mind, is it? I`ve had `em all ... 
Skimbleshanks, Asparagus, Bustopher Jones, even Old Dueteronomy.

The younger queens don`t really believe me, of course.

"You, a sex machine, Jenny?"

"Come off it."

"You`re pulling our leg."

"Just tell me you haven`t been with Tugger!"

Oh, wouldn`t they like to know. More than once, the Rum Tum Tugger`s appeared on my 
doorstep. He turned bright red when Cassandra said that, and disappeared pretty quick, too. 
I nearly died laughing.

Of course, he`s not the only one who likes the more experienced queens. Tumblebrutus, for 
another, is one I`m well acquainted with. I haven`t managed to add Munkustrap to the list 
yet, but I haven`t given up hope.

Well, what does everyone expect? A queen has to be a bit promiscuous, you know, or else 
where would the kittens come from?

Jellylorum thinks it`s hilarious, of course. Her tempting days are over, she`s content to 
stay celibate (more or less), but she loves to hear all about my love life. She`s lovely, is 
Jelly, she`s one of my best friends, but sometimes she hints that I should slow down a bit. 
She must be mad! I wouldn`t give up playing with the toms for anything. At the moment, I`ve 
got more toms trailing behind me than Bombalurina.

Of course, they all get a bit jealous from time to time. You should have seen Skimble`s face 
when Bustopher gave me a flower at the last Jellicle Ball. I nearly saw steam coming out of 
his ears. But a kiss and a cuddle later, all was sunshine again. They`re so silly, toms. 
Just furry balls of testosterone. You can do anything with them if you hint that you`re free 
later on tonight...

Sometimes, I wonder if I`ll ever be able to slow down, like Jelly. I`m getting older, 
really. But at the moment, I`m having too much fun! I say, if you enjoy, then go ahead and 
do it!

If you`ll excuse me, I think I ought to be going. Skimble`s looking lonely, and we can`t 
have that, can we?
