Some background info about them: Munk has had interesting relationships regarding the more magically inclined cats in his life; in order of appearance in his life we have his father Old Deut, his childhood friends Cori and Millie, Mac.., his acquaintance.. Cass, and then his daughter Jem.

A bit mixed I would say, especially with his romantic life. Because of events related to Mac he kinda grew to be more.. numb, maybe distant around magic. He'll sing the song and dance of the Jellicle Choice year after year with the same reverence he used to when he was younger, but he doesn't find himself as moved as others when it happens. He'd rather get lost in the moments, the stories, the memories he haves with others during the entire ball itself.

Now with Misto, he was adopted by Tugger's owners after Macavity, their other pet and Tugger's then roommate, went missing. It took a while for Tugger to recover and then bond with Mistoffelees, but they got there! They are best friends! They know each other like the back of their paws, and one thing Tugger knows about Misto is that he is one magical tom. Maybe two in one body, as he may have fucked around with the occult when he a stray.. who's to say?

Because of this, they were pretty hesitant to introduce him to the tribe. Like sure, he's a sweetheart: kind, sensible, and trustworthy, nothing even resembling Macavity.. but the wound was still open. Many Jellicles were hurt, some even went missing. They couldn't risk it, so they waited.

One day, Tugger asks Munk to visit their owner's house, as they thought that starting small couldn't hurt. It was a bit awkward, seeing another cat in what was usually in someone else's place, but they also got along quite well! He left such a good impression on him, Misto was introduced to the entire tribe a week later. Munk really, really liked him from the start, and while they originally weren't as close in the beginning, he still loved his presence in the Junkyard.

Loved? Well, maybe he was exaggerating, Tugger. Can you blame him? He's kind sensible and what do you mean Cass was right about his head being stuck in the sand?

Okay, so he may have fallen for Misto right from the get-go. But the thing is Munk's really hesitant with induldging in his feelings, with an another magical cat no less! He's already tired from recovering and balancing his duties and taking care of Jemima and this isn't even touching on his and Bombalurina's thing and and and.. he just has a lot on his plate.

He'll accept any help from him though, working with him makes the weight on his shoulders feel lighter.
