Jellicle Ball
"Granby" Granddaughter asked me what "Jellicle" meant and where the term came from. I suddenly realized I didn't have a clue. "Jellicle" is taken from TS Elliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats". Introduced in his poem /Song of the Jellicles/, they were originally depicted by Eliot as common black-and-white cats whose daytime nature is peaceful, pleasant and restful — but who possess an active love of nightlife Specifically, Eliot mentions that they like to gather at an event called the "Jellicle Ball The name /jellicle/ comes from a previously unpublished poem by Eliot entitled "Pollicle Dogs and Jellicle Cats", where /jellicle cats/ is a corruption of /dear little cats/ and /pollicle dogs/ of /poor little dogs Hi Gramby, I know you have trouble seeing, blue especially, but someone e-mailed me these links and it helped me understand..so rather than make you have to open all these links, I decided to copy and past what I could, from the links, and top post them, and left the blue links below. There's also a link below about Andrew Lloyd Webber and the musical CATS And a youtube video link. You and your grandaughter can have fun opening the links I hope I answered your query..: Purrs Kyla ***Here are the links: Here's what wikipedia says about it: The *Jellicle cats*, or simply the *Jellicles*, are a type of feline http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felidae mentioned in T.
