How to Solve Meowdoku Level 281

Stuck on Meowdoku level 281? This step-by-step walkthrough will guide you through the logical deductions to find where each cat belongs.

Our first moves are determined by two special regions on the board that consist of only a single cell.

1. Place the cat in row 5, column 2. The purple region is only one square, so a cat must go here.
2. Place the cat in row 8, column 7. Similarly, the pink region in the bottom-right corner is a single cell and must contain a cat.

Now we can use these placements to find the next ones.

3. Place the cat in row 6, column 4. Let's examine the light green region in the center-right. The cat at (8,7) blocks row 8, and the cat at (5,2) blocks row 5. This eliminates all cells in this region except for (6,4).
4. Place the cat in row 4, column 5. The central red/pink region is now heavily constrained. With cats in row 5 and row 6, the only available cell for a cat in this region is (4,5).
5. Place the cat in row 7, column 1. With a cat now in row 4, no cat can be placed at (4,1). The cat at (5,2) also blocks (6,1) diagonally. Placing a cat at (7,1) is the only move that satisfies column 1 and the adjacent light green region.
6. Place the cat in row 1, column 3. This move satisfies the dark green region. No other placement for this region is possible without conflicting with an existing cat.
7. Place the cat in row 3, column 8. The blue region needs a cat. With many rows and columns now occupied, and the no-touch rule, the only valid cell left for the blue region is (3,8).
8. Place the cat in row 2, column 6. With all other cats placed, the final cat must go in the only remaining open row and column, completing the puzzle.
