Now while today is the 25th, tomorrow is my birthday so I am hoping for a present in the form of LOTS of solvers!

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!

I enjoyed pre-testing this puzzle. Well done, 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!

You are hiding your light under a basket (when it obviously should go before you!) with such a modest comment. Your assistance was invaluable and helped me catch what would have been a major "oops"! Thanks for testing AND contributing.

No Cindy, thank you for your assistance in testing and helping me work out kinks in the puzzle. Without your help people might have said: "Hey Egypt us!" (groan)

That one fell quickly! Just happened to interpret a clue the way it was meant.
Sphinx is off the couch, slouching toward the litter box.

This is obviously more the Calico than the Persian, but I know there are parts that are giving people fits. We will see how solving goes tomorrow and whether I need to nudge earlier than I planned.

Well, you both solved and wished me a Happy Birthday so I don't feel Egypt.
