Dude. Cats! It's a musical, probably the most famous modern theater musical there is. Andrew Lloyd Webber, heard of him? You know Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber, you might also remember him from such classic and hugely successful musicals as The Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Jason and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Mr Mistoffelees is one of the main characters and the subject of one of the better known songs from the musical Cats. I'm not entirely sure why you feel the need to try to put Misheru down by misconstruing her post quite so heavily. It rather seems like you're trying to pick a fight, and as far as I know, that's not tolerated here. I've been around the Internet for a long, long time, I've seen people come and go, and I've seen all the sly little tactics that the annoying bridge monitors like to pull. I'm not 100% sure what kind of game you think you're playing here, but we don't need that kind of crap around here.
maybe you should do a bit of research before you shoot your mouth off

Rum Tum Tugger suggests that the cats find Mr. Mistoffelees (Magical Mr. Mistoffelees). Mr. Mistoffelees is black and small and can perform many feats of magic that no other cat can do.

Mr. Mistoffelees From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mr. Mistoffelees (sometimes written as Mistoffolees) is a character in T. S. Eliot's poetry book Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and its stage adaptation, Andrew Lloyd Webber's popular musical Cats. He is an important primary character, and one of the most popular of the show. He is also sometimes referred to as Quaxo.
The Poem
Mistoffelees' name derives from the demon Mephistopheles. However, the character is not sinister as the name implies, and instead is described by Eliot as being "the original conjuring cat", who is "always deceiving you into believing that he's only hunting for mice" — a mysterious quiet and small black feline capable of performing feats of magic and sleight of hand. These traits are portrayed as amusing, not fearsome or particularly deadly.
and now that I have made that point ... I will no longer be posting anything in here ... I'm no longer a member of this group
