Mr. Mistoffelees 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 named 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.
