MEOW #155 I Am Generally Well-known
Here's another MEOW from Down Under! This one is definitely on the harder side, I think. But there are hints to be had for those paying close attention. The answer to the meta is a composer (and it's not one of the composers in the image below!)
The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and unlimited attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.
I Am Generally Well-known - Crosshare
I Am Generally Well-known - PUZ

I Am Generally Well-known - EXCEL
Kitten
Calico
Persian
Puma
Lion
Nudges are here.

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Just because it's intimidating, is no reason to be intimidated.

Cat free and quite proud of her dexterity. (Despite stumbling on the answer rather than pouncing.). Great puzzle! Those long entries!

I kept seeing the sign to exit but continued to drive past it...clever mechanism Ben. I needed an assist from @rjy to get me to take the off ramp.
I guess I better conduct myself better in the future:

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!
