Got it with the nudges. Wowza.
The scaredy-cat is WAY out of the bag. Thanks for another innovative puzzle!

I definitely needed the second and third nudges, but the cat is finally out of the bag! I wish I could say the same for my daughter's cat, Jasper. He was up to his nightly tricks on Friday, jumping on the counter and finding the "hidden" plastic bag holding some pretty tasty snickerdoodles. Jasper had no problem knocking that bag to the floor, tearing it open and devouring several cookies. So you see, he was most certainly in the bag. Bad kitty, Jasper, bad kitty! (But, oh how you make me laugh!)

Solution:
The starred entries can all be strung together to form the word HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPPEDALIOPHOBIA
... which is a misspelling of HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPEDALIOPHOBIA
... which is a fear of long words
