Cat's out! Fun one, with a good aha moment.
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!

The cat made a run for it before I even finished the grid! Thanks, Dr. Tom. And Happy Thanksgiving to all my Muggle friends!

The cat is out and about. No "Do Over" on this one. I am looking forward to leftovers on Thursday though.
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

This was as extremely difficult because it was so easy. But I got it eventually.
I guess I should change my signature, and start promoting this meta: Hungry Little Creature. I was going to sent it to people for testing but I dropped the ball on it.

Cat got another year on his apartment!
Just awesome cluing - can always count on DrTom for that, but he raised the bar once again!
Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Yes. Yeah I had to back my way out of a deep rabbit hole to find the answer.
Nice job, @DrTom! Happy Thanksgiving!

Late to the party, quickly freed the cat. Nice mid-week diversion. Thanks @DrTom for the fun meta.

I am so glad this is a popular one, as anyone who has solved it knows, I had a LOT of fun doing this puzzle. I may not be my usual "chatty" self today since I am getting things ready for Gluttony 2023, but I'll update the leaderboard for sure this evening.

Cat free and sniffing the aromas related to tomorrow’s feast. She’s partial to the pies.. or at least the whipped cream on top.
Safe travels to those who are traveling, and to those who cook, a toast to family recipes! My must-do is “Mommaw’s dinner rolls” (she did them as trefoils, with lots of butter)… miss her this time of year!
