Its been a while since I tried a MEOW, but the cat is out of the bag - fun one!

The cat is out of the bag! I did not see it last night. The answer appeared to me this morning. It was more of a DOH moment than an AHA one to be honest! Fun.

I am glad that Josh specified that the vampire in 43D was fictional! I did appreciate 43D and 44D being next to one another.
I don't believe that this is a spoiler of any kind. I made a short run down a rabbit hole connecting 37D, 49A and 43D with 44D as a supporting clue.

Thanks, I got a PM nudge from a kind Muggle and believe I've let the cats out.
Update: Confirmed. Thanks for the puzzle!

Cat confirmed to be out of the bag... enjoyed this one! A nice tough grid. If anyone enjoys tougher grids, the daily WSJ today (Thursday) was a good challenge, and the gimmick is cute (and a nice entertainment for felines, too).

Cat's out as well, confirmed. Challenging grid, satisfying meta.
Note that 46A in this grid is a variant on the usual spelling. That threw me quite at bit.

Is it okay to have submitted with this portion of the grid completed?

Joe, do the X's indicate filled-in spaces or not-filled-in spaces? (I have the same trouble trying to reserve movie/concert/theater seats online! )
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Had a roommate who was a master carpenter. One night he laid-out three floors of a building to have a new-to-him framing crew frame-in the interior walls, the next day as he finished another project.
He nailed-down the baseplates & marked the studs with a line & and an X, with carpenter crayon, like so:
IX____________IX____________IX____________IX__
The crew put the studs on the wrong, non-Xed side at every spot.
I bought beer & pizza that night.

Not confirmed yet, but what else could it be?
It took me longer than it should have. I forgot that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

At a movie theater where you select your seats when you buy tickets, I failed to note the small print indicating front and back and wound up sitting so close to the screen that had it been Covid time then, my distance from Saoirse Ronan would have been illegal.Wendy Walker wrote: โThu Mar 25, 2021 3:53 pm (I have the same trouble trying to reserve movie/concert/theater seats online! )

I am driving cross country visiting sons and during a 7-hour drive today, the answer just popped into my head and I just confirmed it. Who knows how such things happen?

It's okay if you have the right answer. And if you have the right answer, I'm really impressed.
