This rather describes my meta experiences; it is all or nothing. I can either see them almost within the first hour or so of completing the grid, or struggle with them until I have to yell "Uncle". Hopefully this one will be a quick trip and I'll get a LOT more Alls than Nothings. If forced to rate it I would give it a 2-3 only because it is one where you infer, as opposed to spell out, the answer.

I thank my testers, @eisense and @HeadinHome. It has been so long they probably have forgotten about it - good two more possible solvers!!

Cat's out! Nice aha moment with this one!!

Cat is free and on the prowl. Thanks for the puzzle, Tom!

Cat’s out of the bag.
A most amusing aha! Thanks, Tom.

So glad you enjoyed it! It always puts a smile on my face.

Speedy and fun. Thanks.

Cat's out 100%! :D Nice one, DrTom!

The cat struggled but finally escaped. Thanks, DrTom.

Cat is out. Thanks Dr. T!

Cats are free! New cats are now mingling with old cats, and cat-with-no-name has been dubbed Teddy.

You’re right .. I didn’t remember it well enough to solve quickly but after the aHA was an “oh yeahhhh!”

Cat's out of the bag - thanks, Dr. Tom!

By the way - I once got the question, "Why is this still MEOW, Madhatter has retired". Well this is a picture of a typical AM in our house! There are two more who were eating across the room (anti-social) so I certainly qualify to run a MEOW (besides Cat House Metas bring to mind a very different style and cluing...).

That cat? Scat!

Thanks, Doc.

The cat is out. Fun one, thanks!

Now, if only I could figure out a way to open the bag and let them out. But I have nothing.

Off to a good start:

Surprisingly there have been a lot of incorrect submissions - told you these inferred ones tend to play harder than you assume they will. If the trend continues I may have to do an early nudge.

Woohoo! Solved! Cat clean out of the bag first thing this morning. (Too much milk last night?)

Debagged the feline... phew! I got mired in rabbit-holes from the start, but a fresh look this morning got me over the finish line. Classic DrTom!
