Even assuming the story is set in the ProhibitionEra, how does a milk bar makes sense for human customers? Wouldn't an ice cream parlor make more sense?

* In the 1998 stage version, it seems unlikely that Gus (elderly and obviously unwell) will even be ''alive'' for the next Jellicle Ball. This is his last chance for the Heaviside Layer trip, but Grizabella (younger and not as sickly-seeming) is the one who gets that new life.

* Not much is known about the Heaviside Layer, other than that the cat who is sent there gets to be reborn into a new life. Since that usually entails death first, that has some rather dark implications. Even [[the theories listed on musical's wiki https://catsmusical.fandom.com/wiki/Heaviside_Layer]] tend to be disturbing.

** One of them is that being sent there is a [[HumanSacrifice ritual sacrifice]], that the cat who is sent there is killed to honor or appease the Jellicle moon. That would mean Old Deuteronomy is deciding which of them gets murdered!

** There's a good reason (which is really a piece of fridge brilliance) that they haven't been chucked out of the house: They're calico cats, and Mungojerrie is male - and male calico cats are ''exceedingly'' rare. Perhaps they could just get rid of Rumpleteazer, but the family can't tell them apart, after all.
