I think Misto is a cute little kitten with a great sense of humor who loves to show off-contrary to the song which describes him as "quiet and small and black, you would think there was nobody shyer!" In the movie you will notice how he is always doing gigantic leaps during the songs. I think that he and Tugger are half brothers, mostly because of their coloring and manners. One of my theories is that Bustopher Jones is Misto's unagnowlaged father, and that he and Tugger had the same mother and were raised together. He COULD also be Munku's whole or half brother, I really do not know. -Shoshana
