The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Is Mister a Changeling?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Unfortunately our sample size of cats in the Dresden files is very small. We have Lions (Nimean and otherwise) And the Malks. And the Mister.
Mister in being a Changeling who has decided he is fine as he is, is ultimately more ‘Real’ in the spiritual world than other normal beings, he is the feline equivalent of the Faithsaber in that regard. Ghost Harry was therefore able to interact not with Misters body, but with his spirit which is exactly the same as his body as shown by Harry’s third eye. This is why he is so deadly to the Little Folk, it’s not just his physical mass, it’s his spiritual mass as well. It’s why he wasn’t phased by the Nimean Lion possessing his body, it was fun whilst it lasted. His hatred of dogs may date from his time with Lea, so having a go at Cerberus was exactly what he fancied.
Forget about circles, all you need to summon Mister is a bag of catnip.

ALL CATS can move through circles without disrupting them, ALL cats can interact with ghosts. We don't have a lot of examples of cats, but we have quotes stating all cats.
I don't think we have reason to believe Mister is unique in any of this.

Quotes please, about circles sir Stuart talks about cats and dogs sensing ghosts on page 72 of Ghost Story, on page 82 Harry is shin tackled by Mister and he reaches down and is able to stroke him, again proving my theory that Mister’s Spirit is both unusually strong and perfectly equates to his physical form.

Stuart says near as he can tell all cats can sense ghosts but most treat them the same as they treat any other humans… they ignore them.
Cats in circles I think was on demon reach in cold days just before they covered everyone in mud… or just after? Just finished a full reread through, of the series and remember it strongly but don’t have time to grab the quote, I will look for it tomorrow. The full quote includes a comment about that being why cats were familiars.
Edit: Cold Days chapter 47; hard back page 451
There were certain creatures who could move back and forth across boundaries like that without disturbing them in the slightest — most notably the common cat.
