Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 693 Step 1: Mark X at R2 C7: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the teal region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 693 Step 2: Mark X at R6 C4: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the orange region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 693 Step 3: Mark X at R6 C2 and R7 C4: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the sky blue region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 693 Step 4: Mark X at R1 C5, R2 C5, and R3 C5 + 1 more: a region is locked to this column
The orange region must use column 5. No other region can use that column. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 693 Step 5: Mark X at R1 C6 and R1 C7: rows or columns are reserved
The teal and pink regions must use columns 6 and 7. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 693 Step 6: Mark X at R2 C1, R3 C1, and R4 C1 + 4 more: rows or columns are reserved
The yellow, rose, teal, orange, sky blue, and pink regions must use rows 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. No other region can use those rows. Mark the highlighted cells with X.

The yellow region must use column 4. No other region can use that column. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 693 Step 15: Mark X at R3 C4: 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.
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 693 Step 16: Mark X at R4 C4: 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.
