🎯 Objective
Fill the board so every row, every column and every colored region holds exactly one cat, with no two cats touching diagonally, before your nine lives run out.
📊 How you score
Your score is the highest level you have solved on the 300-level ladder. Boards grow from a cozy 5x5 up to a fiendish 10x10, and every level can be cracked by pure logic, no guessing ever needed.
💡 Tips
- Start with the smallest color patches: a patch with only one or two free squares often forces a cat immediately.
- Use X marks (or the auto-paws assist) to record squares a placed cat rules out. What is written down cannot be forgotten.
- If a color patch fits entirely inside one row or column, the rest of that line can be crossed out even before you know the exact square.
- Never guess. Every board has exactly one solution, and the hint paw can always point you to the next forced move.
