Jellylorum

"She's a very practical, pragmatic cat, she's also very mature. She's the caretaker of the old cat, Gus, who was once a theatre cat, and she's very loving, but she's also quite cheeky at times and very playful."

--Sienna Embrey, Jellylorum

Jellylorum, who was named after TS Eliot's cat, is a conscientious female cat. She is very protective of the kittens. In the movie she appears to be the mother of Etcetera and Victoria. She repeatedly has to hold Victoria back from touching Grizabella, who she does not seem to trust.
Jellylorum is close friends with Demeter, Bombalurina and Jennyanydots. Like Bombalurina, she sings both Jennyanydots' and Bustopher Jones' songs, but unlike the fiery young cat, she seems to genuinely respect both.
She does not dance in the Macavity number, but she does help to fight him off. Like Jennyanydots and Demeter, she has no interest in the Rum Tum Tugger.
Jellylorum is very close to Gus. Her exact relationship to him is debatable...she is usually played by an actress young enough to be his daughter, and yet she does play Griddlebone to Gus's Growltiger, and Griddlebone and Growltiger are mates.
Either way, it is obvious that Jellylorum is Gus's caretaker and loves him very much. She is proud of his achievements and is concerned for his health, and seems to have an endless store of patience for all his whims (although she does try to stop him from going into too much detail about Fireforefiddle/Growltiger). When she is concerned for the kittens, however, she can be rougher and harsher, as is demonstrated in her confrontations with Grizabella and Macavity.

Useful Facts About the Role

Like Demeter, Jellylorum is mainly a background dance role. She has no speaking lines, and is best known for her high soprano voice.

Jellylorum can be played by a considerable age range, from around the age of Demeter and Bombalurina to around the age of Jennyanydots. She should, however, at least appear younger than Grizabella.
