“Kitty corner”
🔵🔵🟡🔵
🔵🔵🔵🔵Hi Strands fans. Given I own three cats, one of which is sleeping on my desk next to me as I write this (Ripley says hi), you'll be unsurprised to learn that I breezed through today's puzzle.
At first, I thought it might be about breeds, but when I found SNUGGLE in the top-left, followed by POUNCE in the opposite corner, I knew it was about CATBEHAVIOR - the spangram that split the grid in half from top to bottom.
I then found the remaining three short answers on the left-hand side in quick succession. PURR was top, followed by SWAT and HISS below it.
That left two words to find on the right-hand side. STRETCH was, appropriately enough, stretched out around the top-right corner. That just left BLINK in the gap it created to complete the puzzle.
