Hi all and welcome to the eighty-sixth installment of the MEOW!

Answer submitted and awaiting confirmation. But I believe the cat has escaped!!
Of course, every time I post before getting confirmation, I am wrong. So, we'll see.


Confirmed!!

Submitted - I think this cat has left the bag. Yet again an inventive Josh puzzle...how does that boy do it and still manage to keep up with his studies. For that matter how do either of our two (and three is you count Ben) younger Meta stars do this and still work/study/etc.

Kudos to those who are productive enough to do two things at the same time.

(PS for anyone wondering...the new avatar is me sitting in a restaurant in Menaggio Italy on Lake Como waiting for my meal to arrive, THAT'S why I have such a smile, well that and because the wine had already arrived!)
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

Well, as I had been informed I screwed up and had the wrong title on the URL of the puzzle which may have given away the answer :) It is fixed now. So sorry about that.

I think I have it .... but I think I only have it due to a mistake on Josh's part since corrected.

Which is too bad as I honestly have no way of knowing if I would have gotten it without Josh's error. I probably wouldn't have.

I think then my cat did indeed escape. After a round about chase.

Confirmed. Thanks, Josh!

Really cute — and I’d say easier than a persian… but that’s probably just because I happened to see it early.

Cat free, I assume (will update if my answer is rejected).
The other Wendy. :roll:

The cat is out and, like the cat in the Yves Montand song, dining on chicken and foie gras.

The cat is out of the bag in large part due to the snafu with the title to the URL.
