I personally believe that the Jellicle Ball is when cats take on their next life. I've seen it happen twice now in my life with my pet cats, both cats of whom have been small and grey (not black, but fitting the description of a Jellicle) . But on the night of the full moon, they disappeared. the first time it happened, my cat who did not normally go outside, got out and disappeared for several hours. when she returned, she acted quite differently, with a dramatic change of temperment (all good) and a few new habits. The second little fur ball disappeared without a trace only a few days ago, on the night of a full moon. she has not come back. I'm sick with worry and doing everything to find her. But a similar looking cat fitting much of her description turned up on my daughter's doorstep 800 miles away, the night after. Strange. Jellicle? perhaps.
