Each answer will have two words with the same consonants in the same order. An example, for the newcomers:

When Spies Collide

which is of course a

collusion collision.

Based on Riley's recent riddle.

Now for the actual puzzle:

  1. 😎 (4, 4) (l)

  2. vegan insult (4, 5) (r)

  3. satellite (5, 5) (t)

  4. performer permanence (5, 6) (r)

  5. cow suit pun (5, 6) (r)

  6. new chicken tarantella (3, 5) (g)

  7. fluffy ticket (6, 8) (n)

  8. The wrath of grapes (6, 5) (n)

  9. Einstein's Leftovers (6, 6) (t)

  10. Presidential Seasoning (6, 7) (n)

And the first letters of each answer will be an anagram of the answer to this one final challenge:

Cats would be __________s.

Helpful information:

  • Every answer is a noun.
  • You won't be able to solve the last clue without the other answers probably.
  • Most of the answers are humorous, and will fit the clues clearly. If it's questionable, it's probably wrong.
  • The pairs of numbers after the clues are the letter counts of the answers.
  • The letters after the clues are the last consonants of the answers.

    $\begingroup$ @noedne It makes it harder to get the clues from guessing the final answer. The final answer's purpose is to rule out alternative answers mostly. If people have trouble, I might give away the order of the clues in the last challenge $\endgroup$
