Great meta! And a few TILs which is nice. Tho in my case those often become TIFs (Tomorrow I Forget)

Kitty is on the loose. The mechanism used in another recent puzzle helped me see this quickly.

Cat's out of the bag for me. We're in there middle of moving, so I've been slow to get to some of these this week. Grid took me several sittings but the meta indeed came quickly.

Cat’s out of the bag after the nudges, and was definitely bored in there.
I told mad hatter this was my favorite meta in a very long time. I’m so impressed with such talent.

Cat's out.
Something in the grid reminded me of a joke I heard or read in junior high or maybe even earlier but still think is funny. Since it refers to grid entries, I'm putting it behind the spoiler curtain even though it has nothing to do with the solution.

Well I forgot to post the solution
The title to this one had two meanings. For one, it was telling you to look along the rows of each started entry. But more than that, it was saying you needed to apply some analogical reasoning. In fact you needed to complete seven A:B :: C:__ type questions.
Timid : Brave :: For :
Against
Neil : Tyson :: Bill :
Nye
Kip : Laos :: Lek :
Albania
Loot : Hindi :: Ante :
Latin
Six : Five :: Two :
One
Orr : Bobby :: Verdi :
Giuseppe
Pea : Green :: Lemon:
Yellow
The first letters of the completed answers spell out the answer,.
ANALOGY

Very cool! Saw some, but not all. Like looking through fogged glass for me.

Forgot completely about this one until I went in and looked for the new one. Thankfully I took the time to solve before looking. Loved the puzzle once I stopped trying to draw 225 degree lines between themers....can you say OVERCOMPLICATE....
Clever as usual.
