Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 867 Step 1: Place cat at R5 C8: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The orange region has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 867 Step 2: Mark X at R2 C1, R2 C2, and R2 C7 + 1 more: rows or columns are reserved
