MEOW #182 Say Nothing

[Jeremy Smith]

Cat's out, but he's very quiet. Fun one! Thanks, DrT!

[DrTom]

A lot of people maintaining silence while they unloose the cats!

Thanks to my fading memory I was able to enjoy this just as much the second time around.

lol I had to look back at my notes for a nudge, despite saying it was a week 2 at the time.

I did have the right idea this time too, just didn't take it the last little way down the path. Fun stuff, thanks @DrTom

Cat has escaped the bag.
(Unfortunately the dog has got himself a cone of shame…)

Lucky you, I never remember where my notes are! Thanks for the will to do something for Say Nothing.

Guess I must have jinxed it!

Only 4 more today - I guess I had better give the WSJCC a look, it might be the reason (I want there to be a reason other than, MEOW, meh!). But hey, people have busy lives and actually do not spend them trying to create/solve metas like some of us slackers...

[Qmark]

Cat's out...enjoyed it...thanks DrTom!

[DrTom]

Two more souls have decided to "Say Nothing" to the poor bagged cat.

Thanks to these dedicated folks there are teo more felines roaming free!

FRIDAY NUDGES:

Well for once the "Title" isn't everything. BUT the nudge clue 67A sure is!

Did you notice that the long answers (presumably the themers) are all exactly 10 characters long?

There are 4 of these "themers"

The meta answer is 8 letters

[Bird Lives]

Got it late but without the nudges. I didn't see it at first, but when I came back to it after a couple of days, it was suddenly obvious.

[DrTom]

I feel like my name should be Noah, I keep taking people on by twos:

Well, at least they are not bringing their bagged cats with them.

[ELSavage]

Yay! Another bagless cat.
Didn't have time to do this one before the nudges came out, but only used the first one to confirm I was chasing the right red dot on the floor.

[DrTom]

and another one bites the dust....

[DrTom]

The answer is 8 letters long, there are 4 2 x 5 letter word answers, do what 67A tells you to

[DrTom]

OK, final count of 46. It seemed to play pretty easy for most but some did not note the give away clue in 67A. WIthout that the solve was MUCH harder.

At any rate, here is the way I intended you all to reach meta Nirvana:

Tomorrow's MEOW should be (and I am so often wrong I almost hate to say) a CALICO at most. Hopefully I'll see a lot of you give it a try. Until then....
