Jim here, sitting in for Jeff Chen, who is flitting here and there.
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat...
I memorized that poem during my childhood Edward Lear phase so I was ready to slap the right color into 41-Across immediately. Only PEA-GREEN doesn't fit. PUTTING GREEN fits "Where golfers practice short strokes" from the set of random Notepad clues, but what does that have to do with either owls or pussycats?
Tom McCoy is one of the more creative constructors. Click his photo to see his Author Page, select any of his 34 other puzzles, and you're likely to think, "I've never seen a gimmick quite like that before." He's a deep thinker about math and words, which comes through in his themes. Watch his fascinating video in the notes to his previous puzzle.
In case today's theme didn't click for you, it's a homophone initialism puzzle. Read PUTTING GREEN as P GREEN, and it sounds right. CHARLEY HORSE (which fits "Leg cramp") becomes C HORSE which, when sounded out, fits "Fish with a prehensile tail."
In a sign of cruciverbal professionalism, his long Downs are fun too. LET'S GET ON WITH IT, and WHAT'S YOUR SECRET are outstanding.
FALSE TRUTH at 53/54 Across is an interesting phrase. I presume that's something like alternative facts?
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
They don't write poems like that anymore.

A fascinating talk on words and crosswords by Tom McCoy:
RATSO is a surprisingly common crossword answer; this is its 53rd appearance in the Times. Surprising both because Midnight Cowboy came out nearly 50 years ago, and because there's no way to clue the word without reference to that film.
"City from which the U.S. moved its embassy in 2018" is a modern clue, and one seemingly designed to either raise hackles or cause you to lovingly stroke your red MAGA cap. Is it ok to stoke political outrage in a crossword? Sure, why not? I love NOBAMA too, not because it echoes my sentiments, but because it's a lively clue tailor-made to evoke a reaction.
Baseball lingo clues carry a regionalism danger. Your local broadcaster may refer to a "singleton," but it's tough to know if that's universal language or just how your play caller talks. Still, easy enough to figure out given a few letters.
The RATE clue is a little geeky, which I like. NASAL CAVITY is a snotty answer. I didn't know EPIZOA. "Little protestation" is a terrific clue for PEEP. The 2007 film "LARS and the Real Girl" is delightful. Lars's companion Bianca, not exactly a real girl, is a sex doll. No, really, it's more charming than it sounds.
That wraps up another Jeff and Jim Cross Words week. If we get enough feedback, we might do this once a month or so.
I love this puzzle. Language Log has a nice post about it.

Circles in grids have referred to circular things in the past. Elizabeth C. Gorski did it with champagne bubbles and with car wheels. Mr. McCoy goes a step further. As Jeff points out, today, the circles represent circles. Nice.

Since Jeff called me out, let me try to defend myself and this theme. English is full of amusing curiosities, and one of the curiouser is that some nouns exist only in plural form (you can't use a scissor or wear a pajama, a sunglass, or a trouser) yet when they're used as adjectives, they are singular. Why? It's a mystery. And like most amusing curiosities of English, it makes for a fine word puzzle theme.
If math puzzles are more your thing, proving that integers from 1 to n sum to n(n+1)/2 is a fun challenge. Try drawing pictures. You'll get a nice Aha moment when you realize why it works.
