  5. Row 5: column 1, in the lilac patch
  6. Row 6: column 3, in the peach patch

How to solve level 58, 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 6: the lilac patch is down to a single free square at row 5, column 1, so its cat settles there.
  2. Every free square of the peach patch sits in column 3, so the peach cat must come from there and the rest of column 3 can be crossed out. Cat 2 of 6: the rose patch is down to a single free square at row 3, column 2, so its cat settles there.
  3. Cat 3 of 6: the peach patch is down to a single free square at row 6, column 3, so its cat settles there.
  4. Every free square of the mint patch sits in row 4, so the mint cat must come from there and the rest of row 4 can be crossed out. Every free square of the sky patch sits in row 2, so the sky cat must come from there and the rest of row 2 can be crossed out. A cat at row 1, column 5 would leave row 2 with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. A cat at row 1, column 6 would leave row 2 with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. Cat 4 of 6: the yellow patch is down to a single free square at row 1, column 4, so its cat settles there.
  5. Cat 5 of 6: the sky patch is down to a single free square at row 2, column 6, so its cat settles there.
  6. Cat 6 of 6: the mint patch is down to a single free square at row 4, column 5, so its cat settles there.
