Hi All --

My turn to serve up the MEOW MIX today.

Thanks to the rest of the clowder chowder and the usual suspects for testing, suggestions, and teching.

Nudges on Saturday, or PMs whenever.

Not sure but I think this is about a Calico --


The answer to the meta is a six-letter word.

Play away!

The cat is ashore. Thanks, whimsy!

The boat nearly catsized but the feline escaped that danger.

Very fun. I was asea for a bit but finally saw the route to take. I liked it.

Cat got free ( explained in a PM) ! I’m still swimming to shore!

Claudia, you ROCK! Nice one, thanks!

What do you call a rabbit hole at sea? Wouldn't the water just rush in? Lots of rabbit holes but .... something appears in the side there and if you pull at it.... and then. I'm off to sea!

Which is calico? Is that most or least difficult? Asking for a friend.

On the easier end -- as long as you notice something.

The bag is catless.

Fun!

Thanks, woozy!

Ain't that the way it always is though...

The Cat has escaped.....

Fun Meta, thanks Woozy.

Fun Meta, thanks Woozy.

Um.... wow, I've never been thanked for writing a 6th comment before but I was glad to write my experience and pleasure with whimsy's puzzle, but surely the person who made the puzzle deserves more praise then a person who merely posted a comment about the puzzle.

But none the less you are welcome. Always glad to have fans of my 6th comment posts.

Cat's out - confirmed on Crosshare. Great puzzle, Claudia - thank you!

The cat is free on dry land. Thanks for a fun one, whimsy (NB: the spelling).

Actually, I get confused all the time myself!
I think of us as two of the demented alternative 7 dwarfs!

Per Bird Lives -- Audience participation time!
Come up with names for the other 5!

Never mind -- it's been done -- sorta --

DEMENTED ALTERNATIVE DWARVES:
Dipsy
Clumsy
Chatty
Breezy
And of course the bad boy of the group…
Leather

Hey does that count as a D.A.D. Joke?

By the way, thanks to all the clowder I was able to have this as my morning view for a while:

Bob will most likely be welcoming them as new muggles soon...

Cat's out! I loved this one. Great aha moments!

The cat is now free range.

Mrs. McBride, my teacher in fifth and sixth grade, must have liked the poem referred to in the opening post. She read it so often that I can still remember the first few lines:

The gingham dog and the calico cat
Made a meta puzzle in loose format
The entries were awkward, the clues were flimsy
Not at all like. . . .

I can’t remember the rest of that line.
