Cats is horrific, and I'm not just taking that stand as an Andrew Lloyd Webber-hater, but as someone who's well-rounded as far as musicals go.

It's aimless, amatuerish nonsense, and anyone could infer that for themselves after reading what you just described. It's poorly choreographed for one thing, some dances are completely inappropriate to what is occuring in a song, even though none of the songs make a lick of sense ("Jellicle" cats? What the hell is that supposed to mean?).
To be blunt, Cats is an awkward musical that's a ringing pain to your eyes and ears. Webber just needed to pop one out and fast, so he stuffed an old poem into his metaphorical rubbish E-Z Bake oven and garnished it with his own basting - a big semeny glob of short-sightedness.
Not to mention those horrific costumes, just looking at them gives me fleas.
