Meowdoku Level 832 Step 2: Mark X at R6 C1, R6 C4, and R6 C5 + 3 more: a region is locked to this row
The teal region must use row 6. No other region can use that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 832 Step 3: Mark X at R2 C3, R3 C3, and R4 C3 + 1 more: rows or columns are reserved
The brown, teal, and magenta regions must use columns 1, 2, and 3. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 832 Step 4: Mark X at R1 C5 and R2 C7: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the blue region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 832 Step 5: Mark X at R4 C4: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the pink region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.

Meowdoku Level 832 Step 8: Mark X at R3 C4 and R3 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 832 Step 9: Mark X at R1 C7: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the blue region. That assumption would leave Column 2 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.

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 832 Step 11: Mark X at R2 C5: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the blue region. That assumption would leave the magenta 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 832 Step 12: Mark X at R4 C6, R5 C6, and R8 C6: a region is locked to this column
The blue region must use column 6. No other region can use that column. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 832 Step 13: Mark X at R2 C6: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the blue region. That assumption would leave the yellow 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.
