I had sooo wanted this to be 2 days later so you would solve it, see your shadow then solve it all over again! Alas, my loss is your gain, but if you do want to do it all over again you'll get an A for effort!
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)
Sometimes the cat finds the way out immediately. Thanks, DrT!

Cat finally escaped after chasing its tail on one letter.

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.

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.... No I am not going to say what the hint is again!

ROARY ROARS like a LION.png
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.
