I believe it is Old Deuteronomy!

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

Munkustrap gently stroked Victoria and then stroked Aelina too.

Rum Tum Tugger:
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

Munkustrap:
At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy
When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall

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!
