Is there a seeded cat on Level 179?

No. The first decoded board is blank; the source's first action is the failed red probe at r6c7.

Which brown cell is correct?

Use r5c6. The nearby r6c7 tap is visibly red and costs one heart.

The ninth cat is placed at r1c5 after r9c3; the final frame shows nine cats, two hearts, and Unbelievable.

Colors in this level:

Teal, Blue, Purple, Pink, Brown, Mauve, Light-green, Green, Yellow

Do not tap r6c7: the source marks this brown probe red, while r5c6 is the accepted brown target.
Do not stop after r9c3; the final teal cat is the source-confirmed r1c5 placement.

Skip the early red r6c7 and open with brown r5c6, pink r4c8, mauve r7c7, and light-green r6c9.
The late return is exact: r8c1, r3c4, r2c2, r9c3, then teal r1c5.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: The 9x9 opening has a teal upper field, blue single cells on the left, purple through the center-left, brown at r5c6-r6c7, pink at the right-middle, mauve in the lower center, green at the lower-left, yellow along the bottom, and light-green at the lower-right.
Goal: After skipping red r6c7, place nine cats at r5c6, r4c8, r7c7, r6c9, r8c1, r3c4, r2c2, r9c3, and r1c5 in the verified accepted order.
Opening: The first decoded frame is blank: no seeded cat and no opening X. The source first probes red r6c7, then accepts r5c6, r4c8, r7c7, r6c9, r8c1, r3c4, r2c2, r9c3, and r1c5.
Danger Zone: Red r6c7 is the failed brown probe beside successful r5c6 and costs one heart. Keep the red mark distinct from the white X propagation and reserve r1c5 for the final teal placement.
Mechanics: This is an unseeded 9x9 cat board with nine successful placements, one red error, two hearts remaining, and a final Unbelievable state.
