Jellylorum

Jellylorum is a character from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, Cats.

Appearance
Jellylorum is a golden tabby and white cat, unlike the fluffy little kittens she tends to be more elegant and smooth in her outline, with neither arm warmers or gloves. Often she wears a braided fabric collar.

Personality
Jellylorum and Jennyanydots can be rather similar in personality; both are considered to be motherly, elderly cats who, though often scolding the younger Jellicles, mean well. she's often portrayed as one of the more elderly Jellicles, alongside Jennyanydots, Skimbleshanks and Asparagus. In some productions Jellylorum is portrayed as much younger and playful, almost a kitten, while still taking care of Gus as an elderly relative.

Role
Jellylorum is one of the heavier vocal roles, she sings "The Gumbie Cat", "Bustopher Jones" and "Gus the Theatre Cat". She is often seen trying to bring order to the Jellicle's or scolding kittens when they misbehave. She also was one of the cats to touch and accept Grizabella back into the tribe.

Jellylorum also plays Griddlebone in Growltiger's Last Stand, and is therefore required to be a strong soprano.
