How to solve level 154, step by step

After every placed cat, cross out the rest of its row, its column, its patch and the four corner squares around it. The steps below assume you do (the in-game auto-paws assist does it for you).

1. Cat 1 of 8: the rose patch is down to a single free square at row 3, column 3, so its cat settles there.
2. Cat 2 of 8: the mint patch is down to a single free square at row 4, column 1, so its cat settles there.
3. Cat 3 of 8: the lilac patch is down to a single free square at row 5, column 8, so its cat settles there.
4. Cat 4 of 8: the yellow patch is down to a single free square at row 1, column 7, so its cat settles there.
5. Cat 5 of 8: the only free square left in row 2 is column 5, so the cat goes there.
6. Cat 6 of 8: column 4 has exactly one square left, at row 8, so the cat goes there.
7. Cat 7 of 8: the peach patch is down to a single free square at row 6, column 2, so its cat settles there.
8. Cat 8 of 8: the aqua patch is down to a single free square at row 7, column 6, so its cat settles there.
