Meowdoku Level 287 Walkthrough
The critical trap on this 9x9 board is orange r6c8: it touches cyan r7c9 diagonally and steals column 8 from maroon r9c8, so orange must go to r6c7 instead. Anchor the lower-right at cyan r7c9 and maroon r9c8 first, work left through gold r8c6 and pink r4c5, then close the roof with light green r1c4 — not r1c3, which repeats column 3 with yellow.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The grid begins at 0/9 without fixed cats or opening X marks. Lime wraps the roof/right edge, purple and yellow occupy the upper-left, dark green fills the left-middle, pink sits upper-center-right, orange runs down the right-center, gold spans the lower middle, and cyan plus maroon close the lower-right.
- Goal
- Place one cat in every colored region while using all nine rows and columns once and preventing edge or corner contact.
- Opening
- The source demonstrates purple r2c1, yellow r3c3, cyan r7c9, and maroon r9c8 first; this is one valid sequence, not a forced corner-first opening.
- Danger Zone
- Orange r6c8 touches cyan r7c9 and takes maroon's column 8. Keep orange at r6c7.
- Mechanics
- Nine upper-left, central, roof, and lower-right regions contribute one cat each to a non-touching row-and-column permutation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are the cats in rows 7 through 9 kept from touching?
Cyan uses r7c9, gold uses r8c6, and maroon uses r9c8. The column gaps between consecutive rows prevent diagonal contact.
Does the opening board contain a fixed cat?
No. Level 287 begins empty at 0/9 with no opening X marks.
