The Invitation to the Jellicle Ball

2019
Mistoffelees has an instant attraction to Victoria the first time that he sees her. He immediatly tries to put himself at the forefront of the Jellicles when they explain themselves to her to try and get her attention. He pulls her along to the other Jellicles when they hear Macavity, and tries to impress her with some his magic during the naming of cats. He later gets jealous over Victoria finding Tugger attractive, but gets some of her attention back when he leaves.

He eventually finds her after another scare about to be attacked by a dog. He gets himself stuck for a moment as she frees herself and tries to shut the door. He eventually joins her and throws a bone to get the dog away. He says he's been looking for her everywhere and helps her take off some of the jewlery Rumpleteazer and Mungojerrie gave her. The two then return to the Jellicle's and dance the mating dance together.
