Hi all and welcome to the twenty-second installment of the MEOW!
The answer to this meta is
a historical event.
Anyone who tells me that Lincoln did not have blue eyes, or that Persian-Puma hybrids are biologically impossible, will be excommunicated.
Good luck!

Once the mechanism clicks in for you, you'll find this a lot of fun.
Honestly! Would I pass you a phony bill......?

^ That photo is as creative as this grid!
Done and done (i assume). Fun puzzle.
Update: yes, cat is free to roam. Except not on the couch.

The kitty has departed the carry-on. This one took me awhile and I got a wee bit of a nudge. Very nice meta thing!

Beware the colorless version is different than the color version. Some clues are missing. Some numbers are wrong.

It is still solvable. Just look at the color version until he gets it fixed!

At the risk of speaking too soon, I think it is fixed now.

Oh that explains a lot - I'll reprint it. No problem.
I'm close to finishing filling in the grid - I was wondering about the missing clues, 'No Clue's and incorrect cross references. I thought it might be part of the meta!
