    Great job, Pair O Ducks! Good luck with your SSS debut tomorrow!
    • Kent 🤓9:49 · 2023-07-30T12:50:31.740Z
      Do the asterisk clues have anything to do with the meta answer? I can’t see any connection.
      • Pair O Ducks constructor · 2023-07-30T15:36:05.000Z
        The clues don't -- but those entries sure do!
      • boharr 3s · 2023-07-30T12:35:04.692Z

                            • woozy 🤓14:08 · 2023-07-30T15:39:27.638Z
                              so sweet. And fun.
                              I can't believe the weird rabbit hole I tried to go down at first when the actual solution was right there.
                              Also can't believe how frequently I don't get grid order right away.
                              Great puzzle.

                                    Busy morning, so I got a late start, but a perfect meta for a Sunday. Very nice! Thanks.

                                      How could I possibly pass up a cat-related meta puzzle?! Enjoyed it! Thx for the puzzle!

                                          Nice one. I thought I might be allergic, but I'm here without antihistamines or nudges.

                                                    Straight path after second nudge. Nicely done - and you didn't make us go from right to left either.

                                                        Excellent puzzle and meta, Pair O Ducks. Really enjoyed the SSS. Now that the cat is out of the bag, hope to see more!

                                                          Well that was a delightful MISSIVE. I am glad that it was not too SEVERE. You were an adept FUSIONIST in your ability to COLATE(Sp) what were no doubt many MUTATIONS. At no point did I have to CUSS. I'll praise this from the SPIRES.
                                                          Thanks Pair O Ducks nice initial puzzle.

                                                                The themed answers can all be prefixed by PUR or PER to form a new word. Each of those new words could be an alternate answer for another clue (perform - play, purpose - intent, purport - claim, purloin - nick, perfume - axe, pursuit - tail) and the first letter of each of these answers, from top to bottom using their place in the grid, spells CATNIP.
