How to solve level 296, 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).
Cat 1 of 10: the mint patch is down to a single free square at row 4, column 5, so its cat settles there.
Cat 2 of 10: the lilac patch is down to a single free square at row 5, column 10, so its cat settles there.
Every free square of the periwinkle patch sits in row 10, so the periwinkle cat must come from there and the rest of row 10 can be crossed out. A cat at row 7, column 3 would leave the aqua patch with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. A cat at row 7, column 4 would leave the aqua patch with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. A cat at row 8, column 6 would leave the aqua patch with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. A cat at row 8, column 7 would leave the aqua patch with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. A cat at row 9, column 3 would leave row 10 with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. A cat at row 9, column 4 would leave row 10 with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. A cat at row 7, column 2 would leave the coral patch with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. A cat at row 8, column 1 would leave the coral patch with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. A cat at row 8, column 2 would leave the coral patch with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. A cat at row 10, column 3 would leave the coral patch with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. Cat 3 of 10: the periwinkle patch is down to a single free square at row 10, column 4, so its cat settles there.
Cat 4 of 10: the aqua patch is down to a single free square at row 7, column 6, so its cat settles there.
Every free square of the peach patch sits in column 1, so the peach cat must come from there and the rest of column 1 can be crossed out. The coral and lime patches all squeeze into rows 8 and 9, so those rows are reserved for them; every other square there can be crossed out. Cat 5 of 10: the peach patch is down to a single free square at row 6, column 1, so its cat settles there.
Cat 6 of 10: the rose patch is down to a single free square at row 3, column 2, so its cat settles there.
Cat 7 of 10: the coral patch is down to a single free square at row 8, column 3, so its cat settles there.
Cat 8 of 10: the yellow patch is down to a single free square at row 1, column 7, so its cat settles there.
Cat 9 of 10: the sky patch is down to a single free square at row 2, column 9, so its cat settles there.
Cat 10 of 10: the lime patch is down to a single free square at row 9, column 8, so its cat settles there.
