How to solve
- Treat the board as 9×9: one cat per row, column, and color region.
- A useful anchor is row 1, column 1 — place it when forced, then ban its row, column, and diagonals.
- Repeat elimination until every remaining line has only one legal square.
- Finish by verifying row 9, column 3; every row and column should hold exactly one cat with no diagonal contact.
- Answer: R1C1, R2C4, R3C2, R4C8, R5C6, R6C9, R7C7, R8C5, R9C3.
Tips for this level
- Scan single-cell color regions first — they are forced placements.
- After each cat, mark its row, column, and all 8 neighbors with X.
- Prefer forced cells over guessing to protect fish tokens / lives.
Rules reminder
Always keep: one cat per color, one per row and column, and no touching (including diagonals). See How to Play and Strategy for more. How to Play · Strategy
