How to Solve Meowdoku Level 42
Start by finding colored regions with only one square. The dark pink region exists in only one cell. Place the cat in row 5, column 8. Similarly, the olive-colored region is just a single cell. Place the cat in row 9, column 5.
These two cats clear their respective rows and columns, along with their touching diagonal cells. Next, examine the teal region in the bottom-right. Due to the cats in row 5 and row 9, the only valid teal cells are in column 9 (either row 7 or row 8). This means the teal cat claims column 9.
The orange region is now restricted to row 7, column 6 and row 7, column 7. Because both options are in row 7, the orange cat must claim row 7. Since row 7 is taken, the teal cat cannot go there. Place the cat in row 8, column 9.
Next, look at the light green region. Its only remaining valid cells are row 3, column 7 and row 4, column 6. This means the orange and light green cats will completely lock down columns 6 and 7.
Because columns 6 and 7 are occupied, the brown region is forced into column 4 (either row 4 or row 6). Since the brown cat claims column 4, column 4 is now locked.
Now evaluate row 1. With columns 4 through 9 locked, the only available cell for the light pink region is in column 3. Place the cat in row 1, column 3.
Due to no-touch rules, this diagonally eliminates row 2, column 2. The yellow cat must go in the only remaining yellow cell in that row. Place the cat in row 2, column 1.
Because column 1 is now occupied, the light purple region's only valid square is in column 2. Place the cat in row 6, column 2.
Since row 6 is occupied, the brown cat cannot go there. Place the cat in row 4, column 4.
With row 4 full, the light green cat cannot use row 4. Place the cat in row 3, column 7.
Finally, this fills column 7, leaving only one valid cell for the orange cat. Place the cat in row 7, column 6.
