I named my cat Skimbleshanks. She's female, unlike the actual Skimble but I don't think she minds.

I grew up with this book in my house before the show was even an idea, I'm sure you can just order it on amazon.

Oops! I thought I mentioned that I knew that here. lol Sorry! ^_^ I'll still probably buy this though and if I ever take it to school with me (you bet I will), I'll probably be singing during my lunch breaks. xD And my friends will probably ask me "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU SINGING?!"
"I'm singing about Jellicle Cats."
"Whats a Jellicle Cat?"
"Do I see with my own very eyes, a friend whos not heard of a Jellicle Cat?"
"I give up. You won't talk any sense."
"Okay, okay fine..."
xD

Well, I did notice that the lyrics in the song version are a little different, but I wouldn't mind! :D

It's from "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" published in 1939. T.S Eliot, who wrote the poem, died in 1965. "Cats" - the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber taken from the poems - was first performed in 1981.

@CosplayCore The poems were written 40 years before they were set to music. Andrew Lloyd Webber didn't use all the original material.
