Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 916 Step 1: Mark X at R5 C4, R5 C6, and R5 C7 + 1 more: rows or columns are reserved
The sky blue, magenta, and rose regions must use rows 5, 6, and 7. No other region can use those rows. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 916 Step 2: Mark X at R2 C4, R3 C6, and R4 C5: 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 916 Step 3: Mark X at R6 C3 and R7 C5: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the rose region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 916 Step 4: 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 Column 6 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.

Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave Column 6 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 916 Step 6: Mark X at R1 C7: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave the green 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 916 Step 7: Mark X at R4 C6: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for row 1 conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 916 Step 8: Mark X at R2 C6: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave the sky blue 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 916 Step 9: Mark X at R2 C7: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave the rose 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 916 Step 10: Mark X at R3 C7: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave the rose 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 916 Step 11: Place cat at R1 C6: only legal cell

Meowdoku Level 916 Step 12: Mark X at R3 C1, R3 C2, and R3 C3: a region is locked to this row
The teal region must use row 3. No other region can use that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 916 Step 13: Mark X at R4 C3, R4 C4, and R4 C7: a region is locked to this row
The yellow region must use row 4. No other region can use that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 916 Step 14: Mark X at R7 C3: rows or columns are reserved
The green, yellow, and sky blue regions must use columns 1, 2, and 3. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 916 Step 15: Mark X at R3 C4: a region is locked to this column
The rose region must use column 4. No other region can use that column. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 916 Step 16: Place cat at R3 C5: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The teal region has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 916 Step 17: Mark X at R6 C1, R6 C2, and R7 C1 + 1 more: rows or columns are reserved
