Only after solving did I discover how the last step actually works. Nice construction! (Despite 84D :))

I do believe my kitties (plural for me we have lots) are no longer 92A. Great puzzle which I again tried to overcomplicate and through a mistake darn near did. But I got back on track because I saw the trouble I was YIN and YANGed myself out....waiting for confirmation but I'm pretty sure.

Nice puzzle Josh!

Oh, and when it comes time for the leaderboard, please put me in the First ....DrTom reporting slot, all other DrToms can be next. :D

The cat has escaped! (Although she may have taken the brute force approach and clawed through the other end.) Fun one!
