Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 757 Step 1: Mark X at R1 C1: a region is locked to this row
The pink region must use row 1. No other region can use that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 757 Step 2: Mark X at R1 C2, R1 C3, and R2 C2 + 4 more: rows or columns are reserved
The purple and yellow regions must use columns 2 and 3. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 757 Step 3: Mark X at R2 C4, R3 C4, and R4 C4 + 9 more: rows or columns are reserved
The pink, orange, teal, rose, and magenta regions must use columns 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 757 Step 4: Mark X at R8 C7: rows or columns are reserved

Meowdoku Level 757 Step 5: Mark X at R6 C1: 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 757 Step 6: Mark X at R1 C4: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave the teal 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 757 Step 7: Mark X at R6 C5, R7 C5, and R8 C5: rows or columns are reserved
