Skimbledots

Skimbledots is the het ship between Skimbleshanks and Jennyanydots from the Cats fandom.

Canon
In the 2016 revival, Skimble pulls Jenny away after Tugger causes her to faint. In the 98 film, Jenny and Skimble are two of the Jellicles to scold Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer for their actions. Confronting them together when the two try and get away.

Fanon
Skimbledots is one of the more common pairings in the Cats fandom. Many ship them together due to the two of them being more paternal to the other cats. Making many fans call them the "parents" of the jellicle's, and that's what draws them together. There were also some behind the scenes photos from the 98 film that showed the two in a more compromising position. Leading many to think that the two might have been in a relationship. Though this has never been stated by anyone who worked on Cats. Fans still believe that they might be together.

Due to there being a fair number of younger orange cats in the musical, many fans believe that the two are parents to some of the other cats. Most often they are considered the parents of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, or Demeter and Bombalurina. Mostly due to the other two sets of cats both being warm colored cats just like Jenny and Skimble.

Many fans of the pair were upset that the two never interacted in the 2019 film. Though many are divided on whether they wanted to see them together, given Jenny's portrayal in the film. Though some like to imagine the two doing a tap number together, a dance style that was added to Skimbleshanks in the film. Some even imagine the two coming together due to their shared intrest in the dance style.
