Care to explain? I've always hated cats but i'm just wondering...

"Eliot heard this word [Jellicle] from his young niece,
who sounded as if she were saying "Jellicle cat"
whenever she called for her "dear little cat" and
"Pollicle dog" whenever she called for her "poor little puppy."
~Playbill: The National Theatre Magazine, April 30, 1991~


--I don't know how I would live without google! so, apparently it's one of T.S. Elliot's creations.

I named my cat "Jellicle".





Don't love the show, but LOVE the music.

For a long time, I thought they were saying "Angelical cats".
