Jim is a great fan of Butcher, and I think Mister is his version of Greebo.

Pratchett describes cats dealing with something by fighting it, eating it, running away from it or having sex with it. Greebo has another option, turn human.

I think when Mister runs out of the traditional cats choices then he turns Malk, making the Changelings choice. Looking at Sarissa born the same time couple of centuries ago with Maeve, a changeling doesn’t age the same way suggesting even though Mister is 18 years old (an extremely good age for a Maine Coon) he doesn’t show it taking down even relatively large Gremlins. Which leads us to another point, he obviously ate the Gremlin and has partaken in the past of the Little Folk, let’s just say you are what you eat, and that ain’t fairy dust in his litter box.

I'm pretty sure Jim has stated that Mister is just a cat (the Malk theory has come up before, including (I think) during some sort of Q&A or AMA).

Obviously, Jim could have been lying... or can just change his mind.

Well, I'm sure he has an ego, as far as that goes, but I don't know if it's as inflated as all that... :lol:

(Yeah, I knew what you meant but I couldn't resist.)

   Or Jim has killed off Murphy, Susan, Morgan, Shiro, and others for one reason or another, the reality is that cats for all their nine lives live to around twenty years max if all goes well.. In the last few books now when Mister is mentioned, usually with in the same sentence or paragraph, his age is mentioned.  I believe we are being prepared for the next bit of sad news as nature takes it's course..  :(
