Where's That Cat?
■ · Di Wendy Walker · Pubblicato quasi 2 anni fa
Meta Prompt
The meta answer is the formal name of the constructor's furry friend.
I originally made this puzzle just for myself and a few friends -- but for some reason Dr. Tom thought it would make a good MEOW. In fact, the metanism that he initially tried when solving this one inspired him to create an entirely new puzzle -- which doubtless you'll have the pleasure of seeing shortly! Thanks to Tom and my test solvers for suggesting a couple of tweaks that made this one a lot more fun.
Now: GO FIND THAT CAT!

- hoover 4s · quasi 2 anni faNice one! Ahhh... that explains some of the cluing. ;)
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThanks! Yes, I had fun picking words starting with CAT!
- imontoo 3s · quasi 2 anni faThanks, Wendy! That was fun.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faGlad you enjoyed it. Thanks for solving!
- Mwoychick 5:06 · quasi 2 anni faFor some reason I thought I would know this but I didn't! Thanks for the fun puzzle, Wendy!
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faYou are very welcome, Mark! I did not pick the name -- it came with her when she arrived here at age nine years.
- Meg 4s · quasi 2 anni faI remember the answer from when I did this puzzle a while ago, but I have no idea what the mechanism is.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faCATs in the clues!
- whimsy 🤓4:30 · quasi 2 anni faAlmost forgot what the answer was and how to reach it -- whew, remembered! Did not want to provoke a certain fluffer! ᓚᘏᗢ
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThe only thing that annoys her these days is my failure to feed her on time!
- Meg 4s · quasi 2 anni faI remembered the path! Brain is still functioning.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faMeg. You have solved the mega-meta. Your brain function was never in question.
- Tom Wilson 🤓3:17 · quasi 2 anni faThanks, Wendy!
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThank YOU for solving, Tom!
- boharr 3s · quasi 2 anni faI once had a dog named Typo. Thanks for the puzzle.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faHaha! Great name. Thanks for solving!
- MatthewL 🤓3:06 · quasi 2 anni faTook 2 tries, because I can't read numbers, apparently (mixed up 28A for 31A). Thought PATISA was kind of a strange name, but then I thought, well, it is Wendy's cat. Thanks for the puzzle.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faHa! I have actually never named a cat -- they always come with names from the shelter or their prior owners. I kinda like PATISA, though ...
- BarbaraK 2s · quasi 2 anni fa
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThanks, Barbara! Hope you enjoying OBX.
- merlinnimue 🤓3:24 · quasi 2 anni faThis puzzle was LITI took a bit longer to submit cause I wanted to make sure... also I fell through a few rabbit holes, but I was eventually able to CATch on to the metanism... I deserve any and all boosI will never cease to be amazed by you smarties and your coming up with ideas and your making puzzles your getting new ideas from other puzzles and... I'm just sad and frustrated I can't get off the starting block, but thats a me problem, ill just have to get used to being less than mediocre at puzzles(Also, didn't ALF eat cats?... this is why I can't have nice things, I have to ruin it all)
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faLOL! So glad you solved! Just keep doing puzzles and it's amazing how you'll improve.
- ajk 🤓3:10 · quasi 2 anni faHa, I wondered if this was the one you were talking about. Still fun the second time around, thanks. :)
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faAlan, thanks for putting up with my rerun!
- Laura M 🤓4:12 · quasi 2 anni faFun, thanks!
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faYou are welcome -- thanks for solving, Laura!
- HeadinHome 🤓2:15 · quasi 2 anni faWell I spent a little time looking under CARS for that cat! (There are three CARs in the puzzle: under the first I found Eli, under the third I found Ike… but under the 2nd was E_T. (Elie Tike?). Nope. ( : THEN there was of course a couch in the puzzle, and I looked both on and under that. On the PDF, the word “sofa” (IKEA clue) has “a tab” on top of it. A tabby cat? Nope. And then there were POLECA(t)S and TWEE(t)IE birds, as well other animals… Sylvester?? Finally spotted CAT in two clues close together (15A, 16A) and SMH. So simple. Thanks for the fun!
- ajk 🤓3:10 · quasi 2 anni faNote to self: be on the lookout for the inevitable future WW puzzle with cats under cars :)
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faOOO -- Alan's right! That's an awesome idea! Thanks for solving, O.W.!
- HeadinHome 🤓2:15 · quasi 2 anni faAlways a pleasure, WW!
- Tyrpmom 2s · quasi 2 anni faWhat’s the informal cat name?
- Abide 4s · quasi 2 anni faTina.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faHer former owners named her Patina and that is what's on the microchip registry. Their nickname for her was Tee-tee, but that was just not going to happen in THIS household.
- Abide 4s · quasi 2 anni faOthers in the litter - Concer and Argen
- ajk 🤓3:10 · quasi 2 anni fa:laughing:
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faLOL, Peter!!
- DrTom 4:19 · quasi 2 anni faWhat a fun puzzle, and inspiring as well. Stay tuned for next week's dual constructed puzzle that was inspired by this one.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faInspiring indeed! Thanks, Dr. Tom!
- ReB 4s · quasi 2 anni faVery cute and cuddly meta here...It took a fresh look and then I realized what the metanism had to be - and it was indeed, a CLOWDER of cats, all symmetrically placed.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThanks for solving, Bob!
- woozy 🤓6:26 · quasi 2 anni faGeebus. Can't believe it took me that long!
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faWoozy, I'm curious: What made the lightbulb go on? Thanks for solving!
- woozy 🤓6:26 · quasi 2 anni faI was concentrating on the grid and in particualarly the three "cars". Trying anything I could think of; ypes of cats hidden in the grid? Names of cats in fiction? Things off by one letter? Looked at it off and on. Came back a few times. Eventually noticed that the title was "Find THAT cat" and not "Find the cat" which didn't really change anything. And in the evening I'm staring at the PICARD entry and thinking it specific and think PI-CARD vi PI-NTO or PI(T)D or ... and I notice "catchphrase" and think it doesn't to be clued that way and then I noticed.
- KayW 🤓3:40 · quasi 2 anni faDoh!!! I saw an early version of this and completely failed. This time around my brain was in gear. But wow. How on earth do you get from that to Mark? .... Ohhhh! your OTHER furry friend.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faHaha! Hey, he shaves MOST days ... Thanks for solving, Kay!
- michaelm 🤓5:46 · quasi 2 anni faThanks Wendy. Just saw this on Crosshare, so thought I’d give it a go. Did you take Patina down to the Outer Banks on VACATION?
After P-A-T was reminded of Patches, first cat from lo so many years ago!- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faAww, I'll bet you gave Patches a wonderful life! No, Tina stayed home when we were on vacation and a friend came over to feed her every day. Thanks so much for solving!
