MEOW #41: Get A Life
Hi all and welcome to the forty-first installment of the MEOW! This one is another collaboration with DrTom - hopefully we will redeem ourselves.

The answer to this meta has three or four letters.
Feel free to send solutions to either of us but I think both of us are pretty busy these days so there may be delays.
Good luck!

I'm hoping the cat is out of the bag. Answer submitted, awaiting confirmation. [EDIT: Confirmed!]
Great puzzle construction, by the way. Something for your fellow meta constructors to aspire to!

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!

I was told some links aren't working - hopefully Joe can fix that at some point (I won't be able to for a while). Sorry!

The links have been corrected. You have my apologies, Josh!
This was entirely my fault.

Once again Rich has found a flaw in the puzzle solution. And this one is particularly embarrassing for me.
Shouldn't affect the solve though, I think.

Ooh. Fun.
Usually "putting it down and coming back in a while and then it's clear" doesn't work for me but this time ... it really did.
(Although I'm having a hard time seeing what the flaw may be.)

Cat's gone. Using [answer to MGWCC 69] helps to seal the deal and provide an Easter egg.
I had an alternate answer that ties in with the actual answer and the title. Details at eleven, or whenever the answer is posted, though I can never remember when that is.

Cat's out (unconfirmed)! This was really cool. I think I know what the flaw is (only because of Googling I did on the way) but it didn't affect the solve, assuming I did solve it :-)

Oh... whoops. The "flaw" is obvious and what I thought it might be but when I attempted to analyze it somehow I confirmed the flaw as being correctly done. But to be a flaw one needs to make an assumption not necessarily stated. And it requires a bit of detail beyond what is needed to solve. It certainly doesn't make the solution wrong.
Still, it'd be worth fixing... if possible... that'd make for one jewel of a puzzle.

Found what i was clearly directed to look for, but no idea what to do with this collection. Maybe Iโm supposed to be familiar with something I know nothing about? (Is this sports again?)

I submitted an 85% answer...
I definitely have something but not sure the cat's completely out of the bag.
