MEOW #168: My Heart Will Go On

#1

Post by DrTom »

Heart will go on banner.jpg
Wonder of wonder, the MEOW managed to snag Valentine's Day. How could I not do something appropriately themed? I thought of some things that included atrial fibrillation, Purkinje fibers, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and left-ventricular hypertrophy but they just did not seem like the right kind of heart issues for the day.

Instead I whipped up this kitten (and believe me you will overthink this and then go DOH!!!) so that you can solve and spend time with your kitten. My thanks to @whimsy who tested this and found it had the right beat (and she would have told me if it did not because she never is afraid to let me know something!).

If it were possible, I'd send you all Valentine cards cause I just love this group. Good luck solving; nudges Friday if needed.

The cat's out. Nice aha moment!
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! :shock:

Glad you enjoyed it. This must come out just about tea time in Australia.

Cat's out. When I was in grade school (IIRC, at least the early grades), you had to give a Valentine to each of the other kids in the class. Or maybe it wasn't a card, just one of those horrible-tasting little heart candies.)

Same for me. And I spent most of my time trying to find a valentine to give to the girls that I did not really like!
