Here's another MEOW from Down Under! This one is definitely on the harder side, I think. But there are hints to be had for those paying close attention. The answer to the meta is a composer (and it's not one of the composers in the image below!)

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.

Cat freed… loved it, very clever, Ben!

Cat debagged. Right up it’s alley!

The cat fell out of the bag. Too many margaritas. Thanks, Ben.

Out of the bag! Thanks, Ben!

"Certainly I am generally well-known! Did you ever have your picture on a McDonald's cup?"

Fantastic! I loved it!

And (sour grapes) easier than this weeks moat.

Cat is out! Thanks Ben!

Cat is debagged! Thanks, Ben!

Cat's out! Thank you Ben!

Cat has been set free. Thanks for the puzzle, Ben!

The cat is out. Confirmed by another solver. I can't seem to get into Crosshare. Will pm Benchen.

Cat’s gone.

Cat out!

Cat free and quite proud of her dexterity. (Despite stumbling on the answer rather than pouncing.). Great puzzle! Those long entries!

I loved this one - fantastic metanism and construction. Thanks Ben!

That's an opening of 30! Nice!!

Cat's out... and is composing something of his own. Thanks for the fun puz, Ben.

I kept seeing the sign to exit but continued to drive past it...clever mechanism Ben. I needed an assist from @rjy to get me to take the off ramp.

I guess I better conduct myself better in the future:

Some more solvers for you!

We're up to 38 now. Time for some nudges...

Nudges, in order of increasing blatancy:

1. There are two hints in the grid: 1A and 71A. 1A tells you that anagrams are involved. 71A hints at what is being anagrammed.

2. The 3 long entries have some letters in common. But because anagrams are involved it might be harder to spot than usual.

3. The first 6 letters of the 3 long entries (and the puzzle title!) are all anagrams of what the 2nd letter stands for in the acronym MEOW.

4. Another way of referring to "ENIGMA anagrams" would be "ENIGMA variations".
