What is the first move in Meowdoku Level 194?

Start with the purple cat at row 4 column 4. It is the placement that finally separates the middle-left strip from the upper-right corridor.

Why do r1c7 and r5c9 come late in Level 194?

Those right-side finishes keep sharing pressure with the left-middle cluster until pink r6c2 and brown r8c3 are already locked.

Level 194 is won from the left-middle first: purple r4c4, pink r6c2, and brown r8c3 unlock the late right-side finishes at r1c7 and r5c9.

If the player asks you to sign in, open the video on YouTube instead.

Keep the preset yellow cat at row 3 column 6 as the central reference point.
Place the purple cat at row 4 column 4 to separate the brown strip from the upper-right corridor.
Add the pink cat at row 6 column 2 to settle the lower-left diagonal.
Place the brown cat at row 8 column 3 so the left half stops competing with the right side.
Drop the dark-pink cat at row 7 column 8 to open the lower-right pocket.
Use that release to place the light-blue cat at row 1 column 7.
Finish with the teal cat at row 2 column 1 and the green cat at row 5 column 9.

Colors in this level:

Teal, Brown, Purple, Light blue, Green, Pink, Dark pink, Lime

Forcing the upper-right corridor before the left-middle purple and brown placements are fixed.
Ignoring the preset yellow cat's diagonals and assuming the two right-edge finishes are independent.

If light blue r1c7 seems available before brown r8c3 is placed, you are reading the wrong half of the board as the opener.
With 8 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: This 9x9 board has a teal upper-left block, a brown strip and purple pocket through the middle-left, a light-blue corridor across the upper-right, a dark-green band on the center-right, a lower-right pink region plus one pink square at r6c2, a lime lower-left block, and a preset yellow cat at r3c6.
Goal: Use the preset cat at r3c6 to organize the left-middle placements first so the top-right corridor and far-right wall stop sharing the same diagonals.
Opening: Leave the preset cat at r3c6, place purple at r4c4, then settle pink r6c2 and brown r8c3 before touching the upper-right.
Danger Zone: The upper-right corridor looks like the clean side of the board, but light blue r1c7 and green r5c9 are both late until the left cluster is already pinned.
Mechanics: Level 194 is a delayed-corridor board where the visible right lane only works after the left-middle trio clears the diagonal pressure.
