what is a policle dog, as in cats musical?

Answer 1

The term "pollicle dog" was derived from T.S. Eliot's niece's attempt to say "poor little dog." Similarly, the term "jellicle cat" was derived from the same niece's attempt to say "dear little cat." The musical, "Cats," is based on T.S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats."
