Meaning of the Jellicle Ball

This is something I saved from a few years ago, the first time I followed
the Ball.

The theme for the 1st Annual RPCC Jellicle Ball is: The Transcendental
Power of Love.

Since RPCC came on line, many wonderful and special kittens and cats
have passed to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. But -- as we know
since we are CATS -- death is not the end to life, but rather the beginning
of a new one. It should not be seen as a period of protracted mourning,
but rather as a period of celebration -- this is more-or-less in keeping
with the poet T.S. Eliot's works about CATS: We gather once a year to
select the cat that can come back to a new Jellicle Life. Love is a binding
force that transcends both time and space, and we will all reunite at
the Rainbow Bridge. In recognition that there are so many kittens and cats
deserving of a new Jellicle Life this year we pay honor to all who
have gone before; to celebrate their lives in story, song, and memories.

Thank you, Granby. That is a lovely idea.
