I am going to go out on a limb and declare this one a Kitten (as opposed to going out on a limb to retrieve a kitten). My two testers got it right off the bat and both said it was a nice, calm trip to the end.

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.

Cat's out! Nice one, DrTom!

Hah! That was fun. When you told me it was a kitten I was worried I'd need 30 nudges over seven days.

Cat's free and demanding his breakfast!

Cat's out! Can confirm kitten sighting.

Cat's free. Thanks for the puzzle, Tom!

Bag is cat-less!

Bag no longer crowded. Fun one, with a baker's handful of devilish clues!

Cat's out of the bag - thank you, @DrTom

The kitty cat is free! Great fun! Thank you @DrTom

Cat likes some easy escapes just to keep her confidence up. Thanks for obliging!

Quick -- everybody out of the bag!

Thanks DrTom!

Debagged! Nice one Tom!

Kitten's out! Thanks, DrTom!

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

Fun one! Happy to have a cat free bag this afternoon!

Cat's out! Ew! That was close! I almost submitted the wrong answer.

Kitty is out. Thanks, DrTom.

Well that might have been irritating.....
