Is Mister a Changeling?

(1/3) > >>

Conspiracy Theorist:
We know
1. Mister is the only thing which looks the same under Wizard Sight (suggesting Harry needed to look at Mister at one point)

2.Mister is extremely large for a cat, and it is suggested he is Maine Coone (he has been drawn as one.)

3. The Little Folk refer to him as “Dreadbeast Mister” Dreadbeast is a gaming term for a magically enhanced animal

4. His food bowl reads “Emperor” a reference to the Sith Lord EMPEROR palpating

5. Mab likes him.

6. He is 18 at this point in the narrative. Maine Coones live between 12.5 and 15 years, and in robust health.

He suffered no ill effect from hosting the Nimean Lion

I believe Mister is the scion of Cat Sith taken by Lea to be a spy in Harry’s household using a memory Harry had of Malcolm rescuing a kitten and nursing it back to health. Lea as a dog person didn’t realise this would spectacularly missfire as Mister totally ignored his mission, because Cat.His tail was removed as its unusual length together with his size would show his Malk heritage (Like Merle) He has decided he his perfectly happy as he his which is why he appears as he does under Wizards Sight, and refuses to choose mortal or Fae like Sarissa. If so he would have a massively expanded lifespan (explaining his current age and health).

Mab is a cat person (like Sheldon she appreciates their indifference) which is why Mister ended up on her lap.

Harry knows this on a subconscious level hence the “Emperor” food bowl.

Nameless was in with all the Winter Changelings as part of Maeves Court  he would therefore know Mister is a changeling. He as Cowl would know that as such Mister would be a good host for the spirit of the Nimean lion giving him the idea for his petty revenge. Misters biology as a changeling is predisposed to transforming into a much larger form. This is why he takes the transformations in his stride without harm.

The_Sibelis:
Your first point is erroneous..
Mavra also looks exactly the same.

Conspiracy Theorist:
He’s a vampire cat?

When did Harry ‘see’ Mavra? He used his Third Eye In Blood Rites but only caught the Hellhound.

Melriken:
You had me up until...

Cats can walk across Circles without disrupting them. It isn't unreasonable to think all cats look the same under Site.  The Age is an issue, so either he is a Changeling (or something worse) or Jim just doesn't have the heart to kill Mister.

I lean to it being Jim just not wanting to kill Mister, Bob would probably have noticed during a ride along if Mister was something more...

Maybe, but scions can be pretty subtle.
