Munkudad

Munkudad is the family ship between Jemima and Munkustrap from the Cats fandom.

Canon
Munkustrap is just as protective of Jemima as he is any other member of the Jellicle tribe. He is often seen being affectionate to her alongside the other kittens. Even being a bit more protective of her and her friends than some of the other kittens.

Rum Tum Tugger
In the Broadway Revial, Jemima starts to run towards Tugger, but Munkustrap gets in her way. He pulls her back and stands in front of her. Indicating that she's not allowed to join in on this particular number.

Fanon
While there are fans that believe Munkustrap is Jemima's biological father, more often fans have different theories at to who her father is. Most often Macavity. Fans believe that Munkustrap becomes a father figure to Jemima and even adopts her as his own. Those that believe that Macavity is Munkustrap's brother, tend to also see it as Munkustrap taking over his brothers role as her protector. Or even just him looking out for his niece as an uncle rather than a father. Many fans have the relationship between Jemima and Munkustrap be a background aspect of many Demestrap fics. Or have Munkustrap try to win over Jemima after he starts dating Demeter.

Some smaller moments in certain productions make it easier to see this for many people. As he can act more or less protective depending on the direction the production is going for. While many fans portray him as an afftectionate dad to Jemima, others portray him as more of a tired dad. As he would have to take care of her after protecting and caring for all the other Jellicle's all day. Though many think that's why he would make such a good dad to begin with. Seeing his affection and protectiveness as reasons he would feel just the same about Jemima.
