Cat is walking funny and shaking a bit and has been doing it all night stopping just at sunrise --- yes that is correct that cat was rocking and reeling to the break of dawn - Thank you Mr. Berry (Chuck, not Patrick). At any rate I believe kitty is out of the box.
Fun and educational puzzle. I had heard about "that thing" a while back but did not remember it (not that it would have made any difference). I just wish I had not spent all that time Googling Hhmanuw or Hmyrtlliwuosc, the results I got were, well incomprehensible.
Fun fact, try Googling "hiybbprqag".

I filled out the grid quickly on Wednesday, but didn't have a clue what to do next. Needed Josh's final nudge to find the meta answer. What an awesome puzzle! Wow!

The cat is out of the bag. I fought with this meta for 4 days (even with the spoilers) until I spotted the mechanism. AHA, nirvana ! Excellent meta

Very funny. I'd sometimes wondered whether a clues = entries puzzle would be super difficult because it'd be the last thing you'd think of, but it turns out the striking abundance of super-short clues makes it much more obvious than that.
