MEOW #40: Scaredy-Cat
Hi all and welcome to the fortieth installment of the MEOW!
The answer to this meta is a paralyzing condition.
I will be incommunicado most if not all of today (first day of work ) but good news is if you have the answer, you really won't need any verification.

11:20 ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND YOU HAVE NOTHING AND THERE ARE 13 PAGES OF "I'M ASHORE; IT SURE WAS A FUN ONE"
Right?
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

As @RPardoe pointed out I actually misspelled the answer!
It won't affect the solve, trust me, but still. That's embarrassing.

The cat has rolled out of the sack. On the plus side, I got it without nudges. On the other side, it really was dumb luck. But hey! A cat is a cat!
Confirmed.

I'm afraid I have sideraphobia
(this week's puzzle, that is...)
And since the cat is still stuck way at the bottom of the bag if that's at all a spoiler it's completely inadvertent.

To borrow a poker term, I missed the tell and needed a nudge to find it. IMPRESSIVE grid to set up the meta.
The cat is out of the bag but MEOW still scares me a little.

Au revoir, chat!
I needed a slight nudge, then saw what I needed to almost immediately. Very cool!

Whew. Took me a day or so, but the cat is out of the bag.
No nudge required this time. Pretty amazing puzzle.

The cat has escaped. Solved without peeking at the spoilers. Just had a late start getting to this puzzle.
