OP I took my darling bride to see CATS staged at the Everett Performing Arts Center and it was a very fine production. She was paying attention and asked me in the car going home what "Jellicle" means as in "Jellicle Cats." I mumbled something about T.S. Eliot and tried to slide by on my ignorance with my pride intact. That never works.
Some sources suggest that "jellicle" is a contraction of "angelical."
Others opine that this is a description of the tuxedo cat: black and white with white paws and chest.
I have no idea. Do you?
