You got it!
I tried to reply to your PM but something in the definitions doesn't enable you to receive messages.
I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me in these matters will be able to tell you how to adjust that if you'd like.
Thanks for solving!

I'm off the couch. Not yet confirmed, but it's a nice, clean, solid no-doubter.

Nice puzzle, Shmuel! I didn't solve. However, the photo above had to be used.

With a lazy misspeeling in my grid & an even lazier miss of another aspect of the puzzle, this better describes my sitch:

I had one wrong answer.

I found part of the answer after finding what was probably the same spelling mistake that Joe Ross had made.

Schmeel told me to keep looking and I finally found the rest of the way!

Great puzzle with a few small Easter Eggs thrown in.

I am off the couch but there is definitely some cat hair left there.

I'm nearing the end of my workday, which means it's morning to mid-morning in the US.
In the States you changed to DST this week. In Israel we haven't yet - we're a little closer in time than we were a week ago.
So I guess it's time for the current solverboard:

2. Cindy
3. Meg
4. RPardoe
5. FrankieHeck
6. boharr
7. oldjudge
8. hcbirker

17. Beth Tyrpin
18. Tmart
19. whimsy

I believe I have solved, awaiting a confirmation but this looks like a 100%er. GREAT puzzle Schmuel, perfect for a MMM and a confidence builder for heading into the rest of the week. I CATegorically liked this one. I was so blocked up by the WSJCC and for most of the time on the MGWCC that this is a tonic, perhaps a HAIRBAL tonic?
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!

On the other paw, I have been PURRfectly stymied by this meta.

UPDATE: Am off the couch, pending verification. I predict many more puns after the solution is posted.
