For four decades, CATS has been stealing hearts with its unforgettable music, dazzling choreography, and larger-than-life feline personalities. This month, the Jellicle tribe is back in Adelaide as the musical celebrates its 40th Australian anniversary at Her Majesty’s Theatre.
From the mischievous villain Macavity to the wise Old Deuteronomy, every cat brings something unique to the stage, each with their own quirks and charisma.
So, as the Jellicle Ball approaches and the cats gather under the moonlight, we thought we’d have a little fun: which Jellicle cat matches your zodiac sign? Scroll on to see which feline friend you’re most aligned with…
♈︎ Bustopher Jones
Aries
One of the funniest characters in the musical, Bustopher is a cat with no filter – making for the perfect Aries. He is full of life, has no problem arguing with other cats, and will tell you exactly how he feels at any moment.

♉︎ Victoria
Taurus
Victoria is one of the most classy cats of the bunch. She is a quiet fly-on-the-wall, taking in everything throughout the story, which makes her an observant Taurus in nature.

♊︎ Jennyanydots
Gemini
Geminis are never short on confidence, mainly due to their fantastic communication skills (and getting what they want by using these). This is exactly how Jennyanydots operates, a charismatic cat who exudes energy through her singing and dancing within the show.

♋︎ Grizabella
Cancer
This musical revolves around Grizabella, a deeply compelling character whose struggle with self-worth contrasts with her undeniable talent. Though she may not be the most outwardly confident or glamorous among the group, her quiet sensitivity and emotional depth radiate classic Cancer energy.

♌︎ Skimbleshanks
Leo
Skimbleshanks has one of the most fun songs throughout the entire musical, showing his high energy and big personality - a classic Leo. On top of this, he works on the trains, arguably the most dangerous role out of the bunch, which requires confidence and bravery that are common traits.

♍︎ Jellylorum
Virgo
Virgos are caring, practical, and endlessly reliable - traits that perfectly align with Jellylorum. Known as a nurturing figure among the Jellicle cats, she looks out for others with quiet strength and steady devotion. Her thoughtful nature and sense of duty make her a true embodiment of Virgo’s grounded and compassionate spirit.

♎︎ Old Deuteronomy
Libra
Libras are known for their sense of fairness and desire to avoid conflict, qualities that perfectly align with Old Deuteronomy’s calm and balanced nature. As the wise and peaceful leader, he offers each cat a fair chance at a new life, embodying harmony and justice in every decision he makes.

♏︎ Mr. Mistoffelees
Scorpio
The magical Mr. Mistoffelees is a crowd favorite, dazzling the others with his impressive talents, though he often lacks the confidence to fully embrace his own brilliance. This quiet intensity and vulnerability are classic traits of a Scorpio, making his magic feel all the more captivating and heartfelt.

♐︎ Mungojerrie & Rumpleteazer
Sagittarius
This unpredictable duo does everything together, constantly keeping others on their toes with their tricks and tendency to switch places. Their playful, chaotic energy and love for stirring up mischief make them a perfect match for the adventurous spirit of Sagittarius.

♑︎ Gus
Capricorn
Capricorns are known for being incredibly hard-working, much like Gus with his persistence in becoming a big star. His humble awareness of his own skillset makes him one of the sweetest and most considerate characters in the musical.

♒︎ Macavity
Aquarius
The true villain, Macavity, is willing to do anything to be the chosen one despite the rules. Aquarians often act out of their own independent manner, not following the regular behaviours of the pack and feeling like an outcast because of this.

♓︎ Rum Tum Tugger
Pisces
Rum Tum Tugger is perhaps the most popular of all, especially with the ladies, and is quite happy to sing to the beat of his own drum in true Pisces fashion. He doesn’t seem overly bothered about being chosen and instead focuses on having a good time, bringing such fun and joy to the pack.
