This evil sage enjoyed it!
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

A tiny spoiler in answer to Dplass' question if you're confused also --
Sorry for the possible confusion and misleading. I'm afraid I usually choose fun over exactitude!

First time I’ve done a MEOW puzzle. I believe the cat is out of the bag?

Whimsy just confirmed that I got the solution. I definitely needed the nudges, though! Such a fun puzzle!

Well that cat definitely almost cooked my goose! I needed Whimsy to tell me to do something that I really should have done earlier (but didn't of course). Wonderful debut puzzle and with that level of cleverness I expect to see a LOT more. I think EVERY Muggle should give it a try, it is quite fun and, as last week proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, quite humbling. Sometimes you just can't sugarcoat it.....
Thanks for almost an entire week of amusement Whimsy - now I need to go and cook dinner!

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Really fun to do this meta, Whimsy.
Great job
Early in our marriage, our crusty old Vermont landlord would take umbrage at folks from “away” who now called themselves Vermonters. He was fond of saying, “ if the cat has kittens in the oven, Do you call them biscuits??”

Well, after being hit by a 2x4 (or was it a 6x6?), Whimsy pulled me across the finish line. I was SO locked into looking at this puzzle one way (uh, not the right way) that I overlooked what is now, in hindsight, quite obvious. Great one Whimsy!!!
Someone snapped this picture of Whimsy pulling me across the finish line.
