A weekly meta crossword on the forum started by member Josh (aka madhatter5). These puzzles are often very creative with solving mechanisms out of the norm and skewing towards the more challenging. Puzzles are posted every Wednesday, and the solution appears the following Tuesday.
The title of this week's MEOW is what you very well may be saying to yourself! "(Insert Title Here) is he doing with another MEOW!"
This should not be too bad, nothing to count, nothing to infer, just something notable by its absence. I'm going to guess that there will be some Googling involved. In the words of Han Solo, "I've got a bad feeling about this."
The DrTom Rating Scale:
Sniffles/Common Cold
• High Blood Pressure
Blood Clot
Heart Attack
As usual there will be a solvers board and nudges on Friday should they be needed.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Cat freed! Enjoyed the meta, and equally the challenging grid, laced with characteristic humor and misdirection. Glad not to have attempted in pen!
I always discourage pen, I don't want any BIC ering...

The cat has left the throne (er, bag).
Thank God! In our house that involves a litter trail!

Cat jumped out the window, aiming for the cardboard box 4 floors down. Loved those awful clues.
I have no idea what you are talking about, I had no clues about organ meat in the entire puzzle???

Release the...cat. Fun. Some great cluing, such as 47D, which reminded me of that classic phrase highlighting the importance of punctuation: "eats, shoots, and leaves" - or should that be "eats shoots and leaves"?
