Toot Toot and the dread cat Mister
Mira:
Maybe Mister likes pizza? Or he isn't dreaded by Toot, but by their enemies.. I can just picture Toot riding Mister into battle on a pepperoni saddle.. ;)
vincentric:
The Little Folk are afraid of cats in general. Molly used that in Cold Days to run off Lacuna and her allies. Mister, being near malk-sized, would inspire some dread in them.

Yeah, but Toot isn't just any little pixie anymore, heck he took on Shaggy in defense of Harry, he's grown in size since then, and is well armed now.. I doubt he'd be afraid of Mister, plus I really doubt that unless he is possessed, that Mister would be an enemy of Toot.
On the cover at least it looks like they are confronting some kind of bald headed demon.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Arguably Toot took on and defeated Mavra an old Black Court Vampire one on one in Battle Ground.
It’s the team up which is intriguing Mister and Toot should be deadly enemies like Harry and Marcone, so it has to be a significant threat which affects both of them. Is Jim going to parody the ending of Battle Ground writ small?, if so is Marcone/Mister going to reveal he is a Malk Changeling and not a vanilla cat at all?
(If A Malk Changeling he would have an extra long tail, the loss is significant as Lea may have planted him as a spy on Harry as kitten, in PT/BG Harry relates a story of a kitten involving his father which is very like Harry and Mister. That would make Lea a very determined stalker. She is. Mister is old for a cat , 3 years old by Storm Front making him 18 by Christmas Eve, in PT we have Harry commenting upon Mister getting on in age, but not really any diminution, so maybe Harry is starting to suspect something?. As a Changeling he wouldn’t age normally and it would start being noticeable. Mister in his micro fiction refers to humans as Monkeys, a term the Fae use derogatorily about mankind when called fairies. When has Mister seen a Monkey?. His food bowl in the microfiction refers to him as Emperor which would make him a Cat Sith. Jim has joked about his cat Fenris coming into his house as a stray kitten under false pretences, he was just a very small stray cat about 2-3 years old and not a kitten who totally dominates all the other pets and humans.)
Technically Mister considers Harry his vassal (he is a cat) which means he could consider Toot the vassal of his vassal.
Mister probably doesn’t like pizza, but would accept any anchovies picked off of one.
Mira:
Well, while Mister is getting on, it isn't unusual for them to live to be 18 or so. My current cat Gabby
is about that age, she also lives his kind of life style, an indoor/outdoor hunting life style. Now granted she doesn't leave as many dead birds on the doorstep or drag in as many dead rodents though the dog door to deposit in some dark corner like she used to, but she is still a tough old cat.
Oh one more thing, Gabby, as it happens does like pizza and will beg for it along side of the dogs.. She almost likes it as much as Kentucky Fried Chicken, extra crispy... ::)
