Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 846 Step 1: Mark X at R5 C1, R5 C2, and R5 C7: a region is locked to this row
The yellow region must use row 5. No other region can use that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 846 Step 2: Mark X at R6 C1, R6 C2, and R6 C7: 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 846 Step 3: Mark X at R2 C4, R2 C7, and R3 C7 + 2 more: rows or columns are reserved
The blue, pink, and sky blue regions must use rows 2, 3, and 4. No other region can use those rows. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 846 Step 4: Mark X at R1 C3 and R3 C2: 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 846 Step 5: Mark X at R3 C5 and R5 C6: cats cannot touch

Meowdoku Level 846 Step 6: Mark X at R4 C4 and R6 C4: 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 846 Step 7: Mark X at R1 C1: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the brown 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.

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 846 Step 9: Mark X at R1 C4: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the brown region. That assumption would leave the pink 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 846 Step 10: Mark X at R2 C6: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the brown region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 846 Step 11: Mark X at R1 C5: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the brown region. That assumption would leave the pink 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 846 Step 12: Mark X at R1 C6: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the brown region. That assumption would leave the pink 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 846 Step 13: Place cat at R1 C7: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The brown region has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 846 Step 14: Mark X at R2 C3: 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.
Meowdoku Level 846 Step 15: Mark X at R3 C1 and R4 C2: 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 846 Step 16: Mark X at R3 C3: 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.
