MEOW #166 - Gimme An A!
I'm going to rate this a:
Kitten
Calico
PERSIAN
Puma
Lion
Because once you see it you'll catch on quick...but seeing it, there's the rub.
Thanks to my testers (it has been so long ago they probably don't remember) @HoldThatThought and @Cap'n Rick
Nudges will be Friday
(thanks also to @Joe Ross who makes this so seamless with his technical expertise)
Gimme An A!

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

The cat's out! Fun puzzle, @DrTom!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

I believe the cat is still groaning. He’s seriously considering going back in the bag….

As the cat left the bag I distinctly heard the cry of Oy. Thanks, DrTom.

Cat is out of the bag but doesn't really get the groundhogs day joke.
Stinky Pinkies!

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

Well it is more of a way to try to tie to GH day (which unfortunately I missed by 2 days) and incidentally a subtle hint at a mechanism....

As an ex-Detroiter I watched in horror as the Lions team that came out for the first half stayed in the locker room until the last 4 minutes of the second half. People can blame the coach for the foregone field goal that would have tied it but what about the missed passes, the bad passes and the ill fated runs up the middle and miscues? Nope the 49ers came to win, and they did unfortunately.
