Are big cats, jellicle cats?On another forum/RPG I am on we have been thinking about something...
Are big cats (tigers, lions, leopards, etc...), jellicle cats?...

I say "no". Because in the song "The Jellicle Ball", they sing:
"Jellicle Cats are rather small"
"Jellicle cats are not too big"
"Jellicle cats are of moderate size."
"Jellicle cats (as we said) are small."

yes and it also says "Jellicle Cats are black and white" and not all the cats are black and/or white...

Jellicle cats are 'domesticated' cats. Big cats certainly are not Jellicles. I think the lyrics that MrsJM quoted say it all. Sure, not all housecats are black and white, but most of them have a little bit of it on them somewhere, don't they?
Plus the "black and white, white and black" line is only said a couple times... the lyrics about their size are emphasized.

Well, I'm entitled to my opinion.
I'm not saying they have to live in the junkyard.
 I'm not getting an attitude! Please, don't impale me!
I wanna live!

Back when Eliot wrote the poems, it was believed that cats were color blind...I think he was basically saying that through the eyes of cats, all cats are black and white.

I voted "no", but that's an interesting idea...
