Hmmm. An idea has just struck me, I don't see anyone has mentioned it yet.
Is it possible -- with new Icy Bob the Castle -- that Jim is going with an intentional mirror of Calcifer in Studio Ghibli's Howl's Moving Castle?

I think Mab's Handmaiden was put into the path of Margaret LeFay on Mab's orders.
Mab wanted Margaret's (Starborn) child to have a Fairy Godmother: to have Mab's choice of FG's.
Mab was planning -- from before Harry's birth -- to get her WK's mantle onto Starborn shoulders.
Because seriously, folks:
* What is the Winter Knight? Mab's primary free-willed Mortal agent.
* What is a Starborn? A mortal with extra resistance to and power over the Outsiders.
* What is Winter's BIG duty? Fighting Outsiders (primarily at the Gates, but still).Why WOULDN'T Mab have been laying exactly that long-term plan??? We already know -- from how Marcone's Vault was primarily a honeypot for Nicky & Anduriel -- that Mab does lay these subtle & long-term plans; plans that require others' plans to take advantage of, that require others to follow the trail of breadcrumbs that Mab leaves them... It would have been much, much easier to manipulate & fool a mortal such as Margaret "LeFay," or even the "Black Council" if they were ostensibly recruiting Margaret to bear a Starborn.
I suspect Mab was behind the entire notion of elder-Maggie trying for a Starborn baby; she didn't care what others' pretext was, she wanted her Knight, and her Handmaiden was her primary agent in the matter.
(n.b. Mister as a Malk (or Malk-changeling) seems to fit well with the overall plan).
Conspiracy Theorist:
We really need to see what Lea’s deal with Margaret was. I think she bargained with Lea the first born female issue of her line, to get out from under Raith and the White Council. That would be Maggie. WOJ has it when Harry finds out about the deal he will want to murder Lea. Anything involving Maggie would do that. Another WOJ is that Maggie might not be a wizard but instead something else. What if the Leansidhe wants a successor? That been Leas interest all along in what Harry’s daughter could be for her. Harry would not be pleases for his daughter to become a killer muse.
Mab may have known about Harry but prior to Grave Peril had no contact, he hadn’t demonstrated his potential use to her. We know in Grave Peril Harry’s actions created a split in the universes, and that would have got Mab’s interest. WOJ has it she can contact her alters (there is only one Uriel). In the Mirrorverse Harry may not have been recruited by Mab as unsuitable. Mab may know this. The twist may be our Harry is a Destroyer, but that is what is needed by Mab and The times.
Both Lea and Mab have their own agendas in relation to Harry’s family.

I agree with most of this, in fact all of it, except I still don't think Mister is a Malk. He might be
half Malk, and like Sarrissa, Lily, and others who are half Fae/half human,he has a choice. I believe he has chosen to live as an ordinary cat for the most part, much like Lily and Sarrissa chose a human lifestyle until forced to go full Fae. Now at the BAT if may be that the choice will forced on Mister, but until then he likes the life of an ordinary tom cat.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Yes, I suspect Malks can’t get high on catnip, but changelings can, through their half felis domesticus side.
Mister is a fiend for catnip, it has been shown on multiple occasions. He might have to forswear it to go full Malk, currently he has all the benefits of a Malk, random sex and violence PLUS catnip.
Harry would swap with him if he could.
Generally Mister has not been confronted with an adversary he couldn’t dispatch or run away from, if he does, like Greebo he might have another option. Does Mister have an adversary? Yes. Rudy has a long standing grudge over Harry which includes Mister, poor trigger discipline, first against Mister, then against Harry and then against Murphy. Harry terrifies him, so what would Rudy do if he is fired for repeated poor firearms discipline? For won’t of a better charge? I think he would revenge himself on Mister, Harry’s pet ‘cat’, if that is used as the pretext to fire him.
When one grasps a Malk by the tail, one had better makes sure it has a tail.
