Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 662 Step 1: Mark X at R8 C1, R8 C4, and R8 C5 + 3 more: a region is locked to this row
The orange region must use row 8. No other region can use that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 662 Step 2: Mark X at R1 C1, R1 C2, and R1 C3 + 7 more: rows or columns are reserved

Meowdoku Level 662 Step 9: Mark X at R3 C6, R4 C6, and R5 C6: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for column 5 conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 662 Step 10: Mark X at R1 C7: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the yellow region. That assumption would leave the sky blue region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 662 Step 11: Mark X at R1 C8: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty

Meowdoku Level 662 Step 13: Mark X at R2 C5: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the yellow region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 662 Step 14: Mark X at R2 C6: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the yellow region. That assumption would leave Column 7 with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
