34 solvers have let the cat out of the bag thus far yay!
I want to apologize for a rather nasty unintentional red herring that is tripping up some solvers so I'd like to add a hint that the celebrity in question is not Prince.

My cat is out as well, decidedly UNfamous, just like me. We’re good with that.

I am so glad everyone is finding this puzzle as much fun as I did during test solving. Phillip keeps giving you slight peeks at the answer until (like the original game of concentration) you can put together the solve. Fun puzzle with talented construction.
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!

The cat is out and hobnobbing with celebrity pets. Wow, what a clever and fun metanism - thanks, Phil!
