#SKIIIIIIIIIMBLESHANKS THEEEEE RAILWAY CAT

[themostimportantnight]

Skimbleshanks is such a wonderful cat, he loves his job so much 🚂💪 (+ headcanons below the cut!!!)

- Many of Jennyanydots’ mice have snuck onto the train with Skimbleshanks after the two hung out, necessitating that he bring them back to her (she’s always very grateful when he does this, her mice are too busy dancing to reproduce ✌️)

- He’s incredibly theatrical and gesticulates a lot while telling stories for the sake of the kittens who might not understand everything he’s saying, as well as for Victoria (he isn’t as adept at communicating with her non-verbally as the rest of the jellicles given that he spends so much time away from the junkyard, so he tries his best to make his gestures and their meanings clear for her)

- Munkustrap learned the hard way during a production of The Pekes and the Pollicles that Skimbleshanks likes to have a bit of scotch every now and then

- Skimble spends most of his time around humans, trying to keep them all in check; as such, he finds it embarrassing to give into his cat-like urges (chasing mice just for the thrill, chirping back at birds, etc), as this always leads to people gushing over him (he figures this means they’re taking him less seriously)

- Half of the cats in the junkyard have spiked collars because Skimbleshanks once raided a kinkster’s suitcase on the way to London, and decided to bring some gifts with him
