T. S. Eliot’s poem ‘The Song of the Jellicles’ was first published in Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats (1939) and was popularized by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Cats. It begins:
Jellicle Cats come out to-night
Jellicle Cats come one come all:
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright—
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball.
T. S. Eliot (1939). ‘The Song of the Jellicles’. Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats. London: Faber and Faber.
Another group of curiously named animals in the book are the “Pollicle Dogs”:
But a terrible din is what Pollicles like,
For your Pollicle Dog is a dour Yorkshire tyke
T. S. Eliot (1939). ‘The Awefull Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles’. Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats. London: Faber and Faber.

Catherine Milner, Arts Correspondent of the Telegraph, wrote in 2002:
According to Dr Faber, a retired physicist who is now 74 and lives in Cambridge, Eliot was "a very generous godfather and the subject of great envy by my siblings".
"He was quite a chameleon in many ways; he would be grave or funny as he so desired and could write anything - adopt any mood." Pollicle Dogs was a corruption of "poor little dogs", just as Jellicle Cats are "dear little cats".
