What's a Jellicle Cat?

This page is for those people, who hadn't still get answer to question
"What's a Jellicle cat."
If you try to find the therm Jellicle Cat in a dictionary you can't find it.
However, it has a meaning! It means "dear little kitten" and was created by T. S. Eliot's
niece, who was able to speak out "dear little kitten" but said Jellicle Cat instead!
(so, thanks belong to her). T.S. Eliot overtake these words into his poems,
and so in the poems, originally made his niece, the cats are just called Jellicle Cats!

But you can't call every character to Jellicle Cat, because just some
cats are young enough to be called kitten. These are: Victoria,
Jemima, Etcetera, Tumblebrutus and Pouncival.
Only these five cats are really in the right age to be called as Jellicle Cat,
and to Victoria it fits only partly, because during the show Vici becomes
a teen or an adult, but she isn't not so kitten anymore!

So, next time when Munkustrap asks you "What's a Jellicle Cat?"
you will know the answer...but does he?
