The Cat and significance to BOTNS

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Yeah, well, that is fair, it is not clear what happens, this is Wolfe after all!
Whether Inire conjures up some kind of cat or whether Inire summons the cat back through the mirrors is unclear.  
Me, I favour the theory that Inire summoned the cat back through the mirrors and this has a bearing on Miles/Jonas.  
I think this story tells us more about the mysterious mirrors and that is (one of) its purpose(s).

Also, I wonder if Hethor doesn't just call up his creatures with his mirrors, what if he creates them in this way
as well?  By putting an innocent slug through the mirrors he could get a snuffling beast that leaves a slimy trail,
the salamander could originally have been a newt and so on.  All this is wild speculation of course with no textual
evidence... :)
