Theories

 * Admetus is a ginger and white short-haired stray.
 * Plato is a tabby.
 * Admetus and Macavity are in some way linked, perhaps as relations, or a split personality Jekyll/Hyde.
 * Skimbleshanks is Victoria's father, and he arranged the pairing between Victoria and Plato. He did this because he wants only the best for his daughter, and Plato has always seemed like a respectful young tom, but little does he know, Plato is quite shallow...
 * Admetus/Plato is a Leo.

Relationships

 * Admetus: In productions where there is both Admetus and Plato, such as the movie, they might be siblings.

 * Bustopher Jones is possibly a British or Exotic Shorthair or an oversized Bombay cat breed.
 * Alonzo is Bustopher Jones' nephew, (hence the similar colorings) but because he's a scrappy alley cat, Bustopher doesn't want to acknowledge him as family.
 * To add on to this, in the film, when Alonzo saved Demeter from Macavity, his motive might have been his mother. Maybe his mother was in an abusive relationship, that's how he was born, and this is why Bustopher shuns him.
 * Mistoffelees is also Bustopher's nephew, but because he's a purebred tuxedo cat, and has been well educated and lives with a wealthy family, Bustopher takes great pride in being his uncle.
 * Bustopher and Grizabella have had a closet friendship since they were kittens. But, when Grizabella was kicked out of the tribe, she stopped talking to Bustopher because he was an important cat within the tribe. Grizabella lives in an alley not far from the Tomb. This is why Bustopher "looks full of gloom" whenever he's eaten there. It's because he misses the good times he and Grizabella had as kittens.
