What's A Jellicle Cat?

Munkustap looked up at the clear night sky. "So, Father, what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked. His father had ordered him to meet him by the Heavyside Tire after the Jellicle Ball.

" Coricopat and Tantomile have received a prophecy. It must be furfilled." Old Deuteronomy looked at his son. "So, what did they tell you?" Munkustrap asked, getting worried. " Why don't I let them tell you." He said. Then Coricopat and Tantomile appeared out of their den in an empty treehouse that was dumped here two weeks ago. "Hello." Munkustrap muttered. He never felt comfortable around the two telepathic twins. " There will be human." Coricopat began. "Who is worthy of ONE wish." Tantomile joined in.

" If she wishes to join the Jellicles,"

"She will be reborn as a pure white kitten."

" This human will be female."

" Brown hair."

"Blue eyes."

" Her singing voice will be as high as Jemima's"

" And her dancing skills like the Everlasting Cat."

" But you must find her before the next Jellicle Ball when Grizzabella returns."

" Or Macavity will get to her before you will." They finished at the same time. " You will need the Magical Mister Mistofelees to train her in the ways of a Jellicle. Then when her training is complete she may have ONE wish, granted by you Old Deuteronomy." Coricopat said. Old Deuteronomy signaled the two twins to leave. " Son, I have a very important mission for you." Old Deuteronomy said. " Find this human, and bring her to me and Mistofelees, let your instincts guide you, may the Everlasting Cat go with you." Old Deuteronomy ordered. "But who will guard the Junkyard while I'm gone!" Munkustrap fretted. "Your second in command Alonzo." Munkustrap nodded and started his journey into the Big City.
