Cat has been debagged. Fun puzzle and great clues (expect nothing less from a Dr. Tom/Wendy collab). Thanks you two!

I also wanted to overcomplicate this, but the cat is out and getting acquainted with my 3 kitties. Great puzzle!

Cat’s out! Very enjoyable after seemingly a few weeks of head scratchers. Thank you Wendy and Dr Tom!

Glad you resisted the overcomplication! Thanks for solving

Hopefully we have not gone from Head scratchers to furniture scratchers! I have a leather easy chair that resembles a cow that picked a fight with a lion, a tiger and a puma.

Thanks for solving

Oh. I know that trick. I have one cat I see only at feeding time, the rest of the time is spent under the bed.

Thanks for solving

Too much work yesterday for metas, until the wee hours. Finished this morning… thanks for the fun! This one is OOTB. (As opposed to OTC.)

Great fun! The cat is out of the bag. Great conception on this puzzle. I love puzzles when you notice extra cleverness after the solve.

Plus, we love it when people notice!! Of course I am hoping what you saw was designed cleverness as opposed to serendipitous cleverness (which happens).
