- It fits Boots just fine except for the "bright" part :-), and I still call
- her a jellicle. So I figure you should feel free to call Mango a jellicle
- too. By comparison to, say, a male Maine Coon, he's "rather small", just
- like Boots is "bright" compared to, say, a chicken :-).

- I really liked Marie's (?) "Jellicle girls, won't you come out tonight?" verse.
