There is a scene where Tugger and Old Deuteronomy actually see each other during this song. Since Tugger is the “bad boy”, it would be more in character for him to kinda brush off this elder to maintain his persona, but he doesn’t. Instead, with a dramatic flourish, he bows to him as Deuteronomy stands before him, waiting for his reaction. Deuteronomy then smiles and the song finishes. I liked this because it shows that even bad boys likes Tugger even show the owed respect to the wise elders, and later when he assisted Mistoffles to bring him back, this is shown again.
0:57 Munkustrap - Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time. He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession. He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme. A long while before Queen Victoria's accession.
2:09 Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger - Well, of all things, can it be really? Yes, no. Ho! Hi! Oh, my eye! My mind may be wandering, but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy!
Old Deuteronomy I believe it is Old Deuteronomy Well, of all things, can it be really? Yes! No! Ho! Hi! Oh, my eye! My mind may be wandering, but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy! Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme A long while before Queen Victoria's accession Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives And more - I am tempted to say ninety-nine And his numerous progeny, prospers and, thrives And the village is proud of him in his decline At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall The Oldest Inhabitant croaks Well, of all things, can it be really? Yes! No! Ho! Hi! Oh, my eye! My mind may be wandering, but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy! Well, of all things, can it be really? Yes! No! Ho! Hi! Oh, my eye! My mind may be wandering, but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy! Well, of all things, can it be really? Yes! No! Ho! Hi! Oh, my eye! My mind may be wandering, but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy! Well, of all things, can it be really? Yes! No! Ho! Hi! Oh, my eye! My mind may be wandering, but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy! My legs may be tottery, I must go slow And be careful of Old Deuteronomy!
When I heard that Old Deuteronomy has somewhere between nine to ninety-nine wives, I cringed a little bit at first. But then I realized, of course, that this is a family of cats, therefore one should expect male Toms to have more than one Molly, such that more kittens would be produced and the population increase. That’s what animal mating is all about.
Hi it's me Amanda Tucker this video is cute and kawaii I always that old deteromy is like a leader teacher and father to all of the cats anyway good job keep up the great work you're doing well and well done stay positive.

Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives
And more - I am tempted to say ninety-nine
And his numerous progeny, prospers and, thrives
And the village is proud of him in his decline
At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy
When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall
The Oldest Inhabitant croaks

Old Deuteronomy - My legs may be tottery. I must go slow, but be careful of Old Deuteronomy.

It's also implied that he's well into his nine lives, so that was probably spread out over them
They're also saying he lived so long that he outlived all of his wives.
It’s like butter. Butter in your ears. But in a good way.

Rest In Peace To Mr.Ken Page.
Yo so if the deut x grizz shippers are to be believed, he's just buried his 100th wife. Does he get a prize, or...?
