MEOW # 17: It's Been a While
Apologies in advance for a bit of a tough grid this week. Luckily the meta is merely a calico so maybe that will compensate.

The answer to this meta is a familiar four-word phrase.
Good luck as always!

It was a challenging grid, but enjoy a good challenge. Answer submitted.

Thanks to RPardoe for pointing out that the song in 15A should be "Domani", not "Domini". Nothing to do with the meta.

Confirmed. Trying to figure out why oldjudge above had to KILL the cat. This was a nice puzzle. 34a just reaffirms that Josh is emerging as a crossword constructor rebel.

The cat unbagged!
Not yet confirmed, but I feel very confident.
Fun puzzle!

LOL'd, literally, when I got the meta! My cat was next to me on the couch but was no help at all. Awaiting confirmation.
CONFIRMED! Also, I really wanted the answer to 41A to be "elected."

Given some of the crosses, I was surprised to get happy pencil without googling. Enjoyed the meta!

Cat's out of the bag! Fun, and one of the few where the meta helped me solve the grid instead of the other way around :-)

LOL, fine to let the calico out of the bag, but what happens when Josh unleashes one of his Sabre-toothed tigers on us. Do you want one of those cruising your neighborhood--I think not.

Had to "Reveal" for a few spots in the grid, but the meta was a nice calico after that. Really enjoyed this one!

Pending confirmation.
Thanks Josh! You nailed the difficulty assessment: tough grid, but easy and fun meta.
EDIT: confirmed.
