“The ‘I’m-precision’ of meditative reflection on the other is analogous to the imprecision of hearsay”, said the lion to the King.
“Did you hear what I said, or did you infer from my purr with a view to confer my intentions?”

Funny, my cat said the same thing to me this morning. He’s quite the philosopher.
Bravo to your continued use and exploration of word play.

You are creating these clever and careful mind twisters, hearsay, hear said, as you weave the sound into them they become actual spells, distortion of thought in the reader’s mind. Spooky and a little scarey cos if you keep going, who knows where ‘you’ might lead.

Leave it to a cat to be a smart alleck. Your feline sentiments are all too true as well. :)
