MEOW #167 It's a Disaster
I will fully admit that the idea for this meta was blatantly stolen from another constructor (actually two). The meta answer is, of course, different but the mechanism is the same. It came together rather quickly and thankfully I had the expert help of @ajk as a tester and he really helped improve it.
So, quietly so you do not disturb the monster, see if you can dust off the cover and reveal the name of this work.

The cat is free! Nice one, 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!

The cat's out and recycling his bag. Thanks, DrTom!

PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!

The cat has escaped and is looking for an unrecycled cardboard box.

Is that an original Jackson Polecat! I have seen similar art in our kitchen as well.

PURR-haps you're right! At FURst I thought it was a MEOW-net or a PURR-CAT-so.
