Meowdoku Level 883 Step 1: Mark X at R1 C1, R1 C2, and R1 C3: a region is locked to this row
The orange region must use row 1. No other region can use that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 883 Step 2: Mark X at R2 C2: rows or columns are reserved
The blue and yellow regions must use columns 1 and 2. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 883 Step 3: Mark X at R5 C5, R5 C6, and R5 C7 + 7 more: rows or columns are reserved
The orange, brown, teal, and purple regions must use columns 4, 5, 6, and 7. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 883 Step 4: Mark X at R1 C7 and R3 C6: 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 883 Step 5: Mark X at R2 C6: rows or columns are reserved
