onstage, mungojerrie and rumpleteazer are usually costumed as orange, black and brown calico or tabby cats. when they perform their song, they have additional costume pieces: a vest and stockings for mungojerrie; a garter belt, stockings and stolen jewellery for rumpleteazer. in the original broadway production, they wore baggy clown-like costumes seemingly made of various food wrappers as characters performing for bustopher jones.
