| - Rumpus Cat is portrayed by Frank Thompson, who also plays Admetus, in the 1998 film.
- The Great Rumpus Cat is a featured character in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats. He appears only in "The Awefull Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles," a short play put on by the Jellicles to entertain Old Deuteronomy. In universe, The Great Rumpus Cat is not a "real character", but a character from a story, similar to Growltiger and Griddlebone. Whether he was real, legendary or fictional is unclear. The Japanese production uses the name "Rumpus Cat" for an ensemble cat.

The Japanese production uses the name "Rumpus Cat" for an ensemble cat. The 2016 Broadway Revival has changed the context of The Awefull Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles, rather than being perfomed to entertain Old Deuteronomy prior to the Jellicle Ball, the number is used as Gus's reminiscence in place of Growltiger's Last Stand. Gus performs a very different take on Rumpus Cat in a long, flowing cloak.
