Surprise! This is part two of a two-part benchen71 meta extravaganza! If you've done part one then you may know what to expect. That said, the metanism is different, even if the prompt regarding the meta answer is the same: you're looking for the next in the system.

The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and unlimited attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.

Cute! I like the reference to my former employer at 22D.

Cat free.

That's the forgotten system these days...

Cat has been loosed.

Cat has wiggled out of the bag and says 5A.

Oh dear, more benchen71! I came to the Wed meta to help take my mind off of the Tues meta! Still trying to figure out what to do with those asterisks...

Bag is catless.

Thanks, Ben!

--and the bag!

Thanks, Ben!

Well, the bag is empty, but I'm still trying to figure out just how that cat got free!

That's funny. I finished the Tuesday meta yesterday, came here and saw that the Wednesday is related, and now I'm missing the asterisks!

Cat out but looks confused.

Again, google and guessing got me there, but this time (unlike the last one) I don’t see the actual mechanism even in retrospect, though I see something else noteworthy (but why?).

Debagged. Guessing the answer made it easier to find the mechanism, but still a fun puzzle.

This puzzle had my head orbiting in space, but eventually I figured out the first part of the meta. As for the second part, I'm totally lost in space...

Solved with help. I have a nit to pick though.

As I was submitting the correct answer it was also the answer on the double jeopardy board on a recorded Jeopardy show we were watching. My wife was impressed that I knew the answer but a little concerned with how excited I got. She understood when I explained what happened.

Why did the cat cross the MOAT? Because the chicken had a laser pointer.

Far out, man! Thanks for a double dose of fun this week.

Clever twofer Ben, liked them both, even if I was way too blind to see the mechanism for the MEOW as easily as I saw it for the MOAT. Great job on both, and congrats on what must have been a murderous fill.

Debagged the feline… enjoyed the pair, Ben, fun concept, well-executed!

We have 25 solvers who have successfully debagged the cat!

Kept Googling and guessing on Crosshare until I hit the right next thing. That was unsatisfying, so now I'll try to backsolve.
