Tybalt 's nickname is 'Prince of Cats', so he is firstly referring to this. However, Mercutio also insults Tybalt's name, because it sounds like 'Tibbles'. Tibbles is a popular name for a cat (a rat-catcher.)
He also calls him a cat in a derogatory term. Cat sounds remarkably like Cazzo in Italian. Romeo and Juliet is set in Italy. Cazzo means the male genitalia. its pronounced "CAT-so". <-(by adrienne) At the time Romeo And Juliet was written there was a popular story named ' reynard the fox' in which the cat was called 'Tibalt'. Mercutio uses this story to tease Tybalt with and continues to refer to Tybalt as a cat, therefore 'ratcatcher' <-(thesilenceRHIAN)

When did James orange die?
From: Benvolio To: Prince Escalus Date: 5th June 1651 Subject: The killings of Mercutio and Tybalt. This will explain the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt. The Montague's and the Capulet's have been sworn enemies for years. Tybalt was leaving the streets to get away from Romeo because Tybalt had killed Mercutio and he knew that Romeo would not agree but then Romeo slew Tybalt. I wanted Mercutio to leave the streets because I am a close friend to Romeo, but he would not go because he wanted to kill Tybalt. When Tybalt arrived he wanted Mercutio not to walk. Mercutio was offended because he did not agree with Tybalt. Mercutio did threaten me. I fought with Mercutio because he had threatened me. Romeo said "This days black fate on more days both depend, this but begins the woe others must end" Romeo wanted to stop because he thought if they die he will. Mercutio died because Tybalt had slew him. Romeo chased after Tybalt because he had killed Mercutio I think Tybalt is most to blame because he started the killing.
