Jellicle Cats have cheerful faces,
Jellicle Cats have bright black eyes;
They like to practise their airs and graces
And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise.

...

If it happens the sun is shining bright
You would say they had nothing to do at all:
They are resting and saving themselves to be right
For the Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball.

T. S. Elliot

Florence: Why cats?

Tybalt: Because cats are solitary, nocturnal predators - wilful and bending to no rule but their own.

Florence: You have just described all Vampires. Alright. Why 'jellicle'?

Tybalt: Because if you are not jellicle you are pollicle.

Florence: ... I hate you ...

Tybalt grins.
