Last night [months ago!] I had an idea for a possible MEOW. But when I came to construct the grid this afternoon, I hit some issues. But with a slight change in direction, the puzzle you see before you emerged. And while it is not quite what I had initially intended, I think it might even be slightly better! The answer to the meta is a 2-word phrase that will be rather prominent.
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.
Prominent Features - Crosshare
Prominent Features - PUZ
Prominent Features - PDF
Kitten
Calico
Persian
Puma
Lion
Nudges are
here.
The solution is

Cat flew out of the Dorito bag. It’s still amazed at what it learned from yesterday's MOAT.

Cat escaped last night and haven’t seen her since… might be hunting down another meta to conquer. Thanks Ben!

The prominent feature of this cat is that it is now out of the bag!
