MEOW #11: Move On

#1

Post by madhatter5 »

Hi all and welcome to the eleventh installment of the MEOW!

Nice easy kitten this week. Don't get used to it :)

The answer to this meta is a three-word platitude.


Good luck!

Was asleep at posting and solving time (3 AM?).

Awake now, and the dog is out of the crate.
(I know the theme, but more a dog person - having provided my boy a forever home just before T'Giving.)

I had to try twice believe it or not. It was supposed to be really easy so I jumped at the first thing I saw and only got it partially right.

I now have the whole kitten kaboodle!

Perfect for a brief recess in the impeachment trial.

My dim (but lovable) cat managed to find its way out of the bag! Fun one!

I have struggled with most of the MEOW puzzles, but this one really was a kitten and it is out of the bag.
