Definitely overthought this one. Nice path to the meta. My cat scratched her way out of the laundry bag.

The cat is out of the bag! I agree with Hector -- not as hard as I thought it would be based on the rating, but lots of fun and only a little bit of Googling.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

This kitten-calico hybrid is free of the bag!

Agree, a somewhat tough grid, but I only needed to google once, to confirm a crossing letter. So not TOO tough.

Meta: on the easy side, but cool and fun.

Thanks, Josh!
