Rum Tum Tugger

So, with all of this talk about masculinity and what it means to be masculine, I figured I'd add my own quandry to this ever evolving question. The theatre scene, most specifically dance/ballet/what-have-you, but men who dance. Are they considered masculine? I grew up in the dance world, so I would most definintely say by all means yes. But more specifically, I'd like to look at a particular dream man of mine from childhood - er should I say man-cat?

 

For those of you who don't know of the musical Cats or who Rum Tum Tugger is, I just want to say that he definitely is the ladies' man of this little gathering of kitties. All the cats come together on the full moon and blah blah blah, I have the DVD if anyone wants to watch it (I know every line to every song plus all the dialogue). Rum Tum Tugger is the typical "bad boy" that all the other guys are jealous of and the ladies love. What is it about the bad boy (should I keep putting in cat instead?) that attracts the ladies anyways? Plus he's a rock 'n roll guy, which is a double whammy, really. I can't even pin point for myself what it is about this character that is so ridiculously "manly man" for me.. what is even more disturbing and confusing for me is that the character is a cat... so, how should I feel about that? Anybody see any specific "masculine" features this man-cat shows that are only seen as something a male should posses??
