MEOW #42: That's One L of a Puzzle

Hi all and welcome to the forty-second installment of the MEOW!
I really wanted to have a Hitchhiker's Guide theme this week, but unfortunately I was not clever enough to come up with anything. (though did you know that ARTHUR DENT anagrams to DARTH NATURE?). So instead, this week's puzzle is brought to you by the letter L.
The answer to this meta is
something I hope you will say about it.

If no one solves by tomorrow I'll release a backup puzzle.

I'd prefer a nudge to a new puzzle.

Cat's been nudged off the couch.

As above, nudged to the solution.

Ditto. Not sure why we would look for this method without some sort of clue in the puzzle. Interesting idea by Josh but won’t rank as my favorite.

Several nudges. I believe I’ve found the answer.
edit: got it. The cat is out of the bag and sort of aimlessly wandering around the living room.

Me too. I see the (1st spoiler) things, but what to do with them I do not know. 6D has me scratching my head.

Got it, with just a little “don’t go there” kind of nudging from Boharr. A fun puzzle! Enjoyed the AHA!
