MEOW 12: Fish (IMPORTANT CORRECTION)
Hi all and welcome to the twelfth installment of the MEOW! Piscine puzzle today, but I hope that doesn't mean it stinks
The answer to this meta is a kind of fish. Difficulty is a persian/puma hybrid.
Good luck!

EDIT: Guess what? Brilliant old me decided to make a slight change after the puzzle went through testing ... and removed an entry that needed to be there for the meta .
Please solve the meta pretending as though there is the entry HURT in the grid somewhere.
Thank you for understanding and sorry for the rocky rollout this week.

Quick alert: I've been informed of some discrepancies between the puz and pdf files. Still working on a fix. I'll let you know as soon as it's resolved. Sorry about that and thanks to boharr for the heads up.

Ok I figured out the problem. The .puz file is not clueing one-letter words, so the numbering is messed up. Please everyone use just the pdf or the web-hosted version. Thanks!

I worked on the puz. Version for awhile. Thought you had come up with a really devious mechanism. Gonna start again on the pdf.

Submitted a guess. I'm sure I have the mechanism but can't really make it smoothly deliver a fish.
Edit: guess was the right fish; whew. Clever meta, reminds me a bit of one from another constructor a ways back.

Just to make sure no one misses it, I made a slight mistake in the meta. Please see my edit in the initial post.

Solved with the correction (and a confirmation of the method from a friend).

I think I figured out the mechanism but canโt see the fish yet.

Catching up on missed puzzles (thanks Texas power companies for the loss of power) as I get back online post winter storm.
An answer submitted that is the best I could come up with, though didn't quite click for me though each of the steps seems certain.
Nope - incorrect, needed a small course correction to get to the intended answer.
