How to Solve Meowdoku Level 157

This walkthrough provides a step-by-step guide to solving Meowdoku Level 157. Each placement is based on the core rules: one cat per row, column, and colored region, with no cats touching, even diagonally.

1. Place the cat in row 2, column 3. The blue region in the upper part of the board consists of only a single cell. The "one cat per region" rule means a cat must go here. This is the perfect starting point.

2. Place the cat in row 4, column 2. Now look at the dark pink region (with cells in rows 1, 3, and 4). The cat at (2,3) diagonally blocks the cell at (1,2) and also blocks column 3, making (3,3) unavailable. This leaves only one possible spot for this region's cat.

3. Place the cat in row 1, column 1. In the top-left pink region, the cell at (2,2) is diagonally blocked by the cat at (2,3). Cell (2,1) is blocked because row 2 already has a cat. Therefore, the only valid cell for this region's cat is (1,1).

4. Place the cat in row 6, column 8. The large orange region has cells in rows 1, 2, and 6. Since we have already placed cats in row 1 and row 2, all the orange cells in those rows are now blocked. The only remaining cell for the orange region's cat is in row 6.

5. Place the cat in row 8, column 7. Now examine the purple region at the bottom. The cats we've placed in columns 1, 2, 3, and 8 block every cell in this region except for one.

6. Place the cat in row 3, column 5. With several cats on the board, the pink region in the center becomes constrained. Cells are eliminated by row, column, and diagonal blocks from the cats at (2,3) and (4,2), forcing the placement into the only available spot.

7. Place the cat in row 7, column 4. For the yellow region, most spots are blocked by other cats. The cell at (7,6) is blocked diagonally by the cat at (8,7), leaving (7,4) as the only option.

8. Place the cat in row 5, column 6. With all other cats placed, only one row (5) and one column (6) remain empty. This is the final cat's location, completing the puzzle.
