Cat is out of the bag! Love the grid art, and the "aha" moment was fun, too.
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

Ben has graciously pointed out my meta answer is misspelled. I made it in a hurry. Sorry!

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!

Man my bad luck continues. I am SURE I know what Josh wants, but I'll be darned if I can make my assumption fit the GRID I have solved.
Are you allowed to make your own grid, solve that and submit?????

The cat and bag are headed to divorce court.
Awaiting confirmation, though confident. I too am seeing a misspelling — and I hope I’m seeing that misspelling correctly (if you know what I mean).
Fun!
Thanks, Josh!

I believe the cat is free.
EDIT: Confirmed. Not an easy puzzle but creative as always.

Cat free. What happened to Whimsy? I thought she kept Josh from going off the tracks.

In fact Claudia sent me a puzzle for this week and, spotlight-seeking vagabond that I am I decided to speed-make one of my own.
Well I learned my lesson

Sheesh! Well with a nudge and finally a hard slap to the head the cat was freed. I am SUCH a victim of habit that I could not solve because I wanted it to be a certain thing and it wasn't. Very clever GRID and puzzle, and of course a "truly Madhatter" kind of mechanism.

Grasping at straws when a MEOW continually comes up empty while others say "oh, I get it" always brings out the inner Gollum in me.
I know four things he doesn't wants but doesn't knows whats he does wants.
