Jellylorum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jellylorum is one of the characters from the musical CATS. She sings part of Gus the Theatre cat and doubles as Griddlebone during Growltiger's Last Stand. She is considered by fans to be the daughter of Old Gus. The age of Jellylorum is debatable because in the video version of CATS, Susan Jane Tanner plays the role as she did in the original production yet there are times when Jellylorum is as young as Bombalurina and Demeter. She's close to Jennyanydots and Skimbleshanks.

Her name is mention during the Naming of Cats but she was also mentioned in a poem, "Its name is Jellylorum," by T.S. Eliot where he calls her "The Lillie Cat." Jellylorum may also have been the name of an actual cat owned by Eliot.
