Innate Spellcasting. The cheshire cat can innately cast prestidigitation and minor illusion, requiring no material components. Its innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 12).
Magic Resistance. The cheshire cat has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage plus 2 (1d4) force damage.
Uncanny Grin (1/Day). One creature of the cheshire cat's choice within 20 feet of it must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw, becoming charmed or frightened for 1 minute on a failed save. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the cheshire cat is within line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Etherealness. The cheshire cat magically enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. While in the Border Ethereal, the cheshire cat can choose to make itself visible (in varying degrees, if desired) and heard on the Material Plane, though it cannot physically interact with it without shifting the plane it's currently on. It can also cast known spells as if it were on the Material Plane.
Description
"Cheshire cats are . . . Interesting, to say the least. One who has ever met one knows what I mean. They don't really care about you or what you're doing, but they do at the same time. You are a subject of interest that they aren't very interested in. They will riddle you, prank you, even have a philosophical debate with you or such, but there is always a sense of detachment emanating from them no matter how much they interact with you. Then again, I suppose it is difficult to care about someone who is on another plane of existence."

These mysterious feline-esque creatures are thought to have originated from the Feywild, but seem to have developed a strange affinity for the Ethereal Plane. They can shift between the Ethereal and Material Plane at will, and have the ability to appear on the Material Plane visibly and audibly while still on the Ethereal Plane. As a result, it can seem as if a Cheshire cat turns invisible when it ceases to use this ability. Cheshire cats have a habit of partially appearing on the Material Plane, such as displaying only their head or smile, but will go for any variation of visibility. They love their abilities so much that it is rare to see cheshire cats in their supposed plane of origin.
Though a cheshire cat is able to take up physical residence on the Material Plane, it will hardly ever do so without a good reason. A useful tip taught at wizarding schools is to always look around for a cheshire cat before casting the etherealness spell. If you see one, pick up a nearby rock and throw it at the feline. If the rock doesn't pass through it, that means there's probably some nasty monster lurking in the Ethereal Plane in that particular area.
Cheshire cats are fickle beings, and therefore are always chaotic. For the most part they are Chaotic Neutral in alignment, but here and there you will find a cheshire cat that leans towards Chaotic Good or Chaotic Evil.
Cheshire cats are occasionally but rarely found in the company of Archfey warlocks, though even the Archfey themselves hold little sway over these tricky fey. More often than not, a cheshire cat will find a particularly interesting individual and establish itself as a gift from their patron, as an excuse to follow them around.
