MEOW #173 Crowded
This puzzle was inspired by something I have tried to use to solve countless puzzles, and been wrong. So, figured I, why not finally use it...and I did.
The meta answer is something you might find yourself uncomfortable in.
Thanks to @Meg @Cinny who were my experimental group, to the technical support of @Joe Ross, and to the forum moderators (Kay, Mark Bob and Peter). What a wonderful group we have.

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!

Cat's out! Nice one, DrTom!
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!

Hah! That was fun. When you told me it was a kitten I was worried I'd need 30 nudges over seven days.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Took a beat to find what I knew I was looking for, but once I stopped overcomplicating it came smoothly. Fun stuff, thanks.
