How to solve level 96, 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 7: the rose patch is down to a single free square at row 3, column 4, so its cat settles there.
  2. Cat 2 of 7: the aqua patch is down to a single free square at row 7, column 3, so its cat settles there.
  3. A cat at row 4, column 1 would leave the peach patch with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. A cat at row 5, column 1 would leave the peach patch with no home for its cat, so cross that square out. Cat 3 of 7: the mint patch is down to a single free square at row 4, column 2, so its cat settles there.
  4. Cat 4 of 7: the peach patch is down to a single free square at row 6, column 1, so its cat settles there.
  5. Cat 5 of 7: the yellow patch is down to a single free square at row 1, column 5, so its cat settles there.
  6. Cat 6 of 7: the sky patch is down to a single free square at row 2, column 7, so its cat settles there.
  7. Cat 7 of 7: the lilac patch is down to a single free square at row 5, column 6, so its cat settles there.
