Before any earlier pictured placement, no used row or column excludes another cell from this color region, while the no-touch rule adds no further region exclusion. The region containing H4 is left with G3, H3, G4, and H4; row 4 still allows A4, B4, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, H4, I4, and J4, and column H still allows H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, H7, H8, H9, and H10. Rejecting H4 forces G4, after which the color region covering D3, D4, and E4 has no legal cell. Therefore H4 must contain the cat.
Candidate scope — color region: G3, H3, G4, and H4; row 4: A4, B4, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, H4, I4, and J4; column H: H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, H7, H8, H9, and H10.
Exclusion rules — used rows/columns remove 0 cells from the region; orthogonal/diagonal no-touch adds 0 cells.
Forced conclusion — rejecting H4 forces G4 and empties the color region covering D3, D4, and E4.

Step 2: Place the cat at F5
F5 is forced by contradiction: treating it as empty leaves the color region covering F2, G2, and H2 without a legal cell.
Add F5 while keeping H4 fixed; the board diagram now shows 2/10 cats.
With H4 already fixed, used rows or columns exclude D4, E4, F4, and H5 from this color region, while the no-touch rule additionally excludes G5 by orthogonal or diagonal contact. The region containing F5 is left with D3 and F5; row 5 still allows A5, B5, C5, D5, E5, F5, and J5, and column F still allows F1, F2, F3, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, and F10. Rejecting F5 forces D3 → B2, after which the color region covering F2, G2, and H2 has no legal cell. Therefore F5 must contain the cat.
Candidate scope — color region: D3 and F5; row 5: A5, B5, C5, D5, E5, F5, and J5; column F: F1, F2, F3, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, and F10.
Exclusion rules — used rows/columns remove 4 cells (D4, E4, F4, and H5) from the region; orthogonal/diagonal no-touch adds 1 cell (G5).
Forced conclusion — rejecting F5 forces D3 → B2 and empties the color region covering F2, G2, and H2.
3
Step 3: Place the cat at A7
A7 is forced by contradiction: treating it as empty leaves row 9 without a legal cell.
Add A7 while keeping H4 and F5 fixed; the board diagram now shows 3/10 cats.
With H4 and F5 already fixed, used rows or columns exclude A4, A5, and B5 from this color region, while the no-touch rule adds no further region exclusion. The region containing A7 is left with A6, B6, and A7; row 7 still allows A7, B7, C7, D7, E7, G7, I7, and J7, and column A still allows A1, A2, A3, A6, A7, A8, A9, and A10. Rejecting A7 lets the remaining row, column, color-region, and no-touch eliminations exhaust row 9. Therefore A7 must contain the cat.
Candidate scope — color region: A6, B6, and A7; row 7: A7, B7, C7, D7, E7, G7, I7, and J7; column A: A1, A2, A3, A6, A7, A8, A9, and A10.
Exclusion rules — used rows/columns remove 3 cells (A4, A5, and B5) from the region; orthogonal/diagonal no-touch adds 0 cells.
Forced conclusion — rejecting A7 exhausts row 9.
4
Step 4: Place the cat at I9
I9 is forced by contradiction: treating it as empty leaves the color region covering C6, D6, and B7 without a legal cell.
Add I9 while keeping H4, F5, and A7 fixed; the board diagram now shows 4/10 cats.
With H4, F5, and A7 already fixed, used rows or columns exclude 8 cells, including F6, F7, G7, H7, F8, and H8 from this color region, while the no-touch rule additionally excludes G6 by orthogonal or diagonal contact. The region containing I9 is left with G8 and I9; row 9 still allows B9, C9, D9, E9, G9, I9, and J9, and column I still allows I1, I2, I6, I8, I9, and I10. Rejecting I9 forces G8, after which the color region covering C6, D6, and B7 has no legal cell. Therefore I9 must contain the cat.
Candidate scope — color region: G8 and I9; row 9: B9, C9, D9, E9, G9, I9, and J9; column I: I1, I2, I6, I8, I9, and I10.
Exclusion rules — used rows/columns remove 8 cells (F6, F7, G7, H7, F8, and H8 among them) from the region; orthogonal/diagonal no-touch adds 1 cell (G6).
Forced conclusion — rejecting I9 forces G8 and empties the color region covering C6, D6, and B7.
5
Step 5: Place the cat at B10
B10 is forced by contradiction: treating it as empty leaves the color region covering D8, A9, and B9 without a legal cell.
Add B10 while keeping H4, F5, A7, and I9 fixed; the board diagram now shows 5/10 cats.
With H4, F5, A7, and I9 already fixed, used rows or columns exclude A9, B9, C9, D9, and A10 from this color region, while the no-touch rule adds no further region exclusion. The region containing B10 is left with D8, B10, and C10; row 10 still allows B10, C10, D10, E10, and G10, and column B still allows B1, B2, B3, and B10. Rejecting B10 forces J6 → G2 → C8, after which the color region covering D8, A9, and B9 has no legal cell. Therefore B10 must contain the cat.
Candidate scope — color region: D8, B10, and C10; row 10: B10, C10, D10, E10, and G10; column B: B1, B2, B3, and B10.
Exclusion rules — used rows/columns remove 5 cells (A9, B9, C9, D9, and A10) from the region; orthogonal/diagonal no-touch adds 0 cells.
Forced conclusion — rejecting B10 forces J6 → G2 → C8 and empties the color region covering D8, A9, and B9.
6
Step 6: Place the cat at C8
C8 is forced by contradiction: treating it as empty leaves the color region covering C6, D6, and B7 without a legal cell.
Add C8 while keeping H4, F5, A7, I9, and B10 fixed; the board diagram now shows 6/10 cats.
With H4, F5, A7, I9, and B10 already fixed, used rows or columns exclude B7, C7, D7, A8, and B8 from this color region, while the no-touch rule adds no further region exclusion. The region containing C8 is left with C6, D6, and C8; row 8 still allows C8 and E8, and column C still allows C1, C2, C3, C6, and C8. Rejecting C8 forces J6, after which the color region covering C6, D6, and B7 has no legal cell. Therefore C8 must contain the cat.
Candidate scope — color region: C6, D6, and C8; row 8: C8 and E8; column C: C1, C2, C3, C6, and C8.
Exclusion rules — used rows/columns remove 5 cells (B7, C7, D7, A8, and B8) from the region; orthogonal/diagonal no-touch adds 0 cells.
Forced conclusion — rejecting C8 forces J6 and empties the color region covering C6, D6, and B7.
7
Step 7: Place the cat at D1
D1 is forced by contradiction: treating it as empty leaves column D without a legal cell.
Add D1 while keeping H4, F5, A7, I9, B10, and C8 fixed; the board diagram now shows 7/10 cats.
With H4, F5, A7, I9, B10, and C8 already fixed, used rows or columns exclude 28 cells, including A1, B1, C1, F1, H1, and I1 from this color region, while the no-touch rule additionally excludes E6 by orthogonal or diagonal contact. The region containing D1 is left with D1, E1, G1, and J1; row 1 still allows D1, E1, G1, and J1, and column D still allows D1 and D2. Rejecting D1 forces J6 → G2, after which column D has no legal cell. Therefore D1 must contain the cat.
Candidate scope — color region: D1, E1, G1, and J1; row 1: D1, E1, G1, and J1; column D: D1 and D2.
Exclusion rules — used rows/columns remove 28 cells (A1, B1, C1, F1, H1, and I1 among them) from the region; orthogonal/diagonal no-touch adds 1 cell (E6).
Forced conclusion — rejecting D1 forces J6 → G2 and empties column D.
8
Step 8: Place the cat at E3
E3 is the only legal cell left in its color region after the earlier placements remove every alternative.
Add E3 while keeping H4, F5, A7, I9, B10, C8, and D1 fixed; the board diagram now shows 8/10 cats.
With H4, F5, A7, I9, B10, C8, and D1 already fixed, used rows or columns exclude B2, C2, D2, C3, and F3 from this color region, while the no-touch rule additionally excludes E2 by orthogonal or diagonal contact. The region containing E3 is left with E3; row 3 still allows E3 and J3, and column E still allows E3. Only E3 remains in the required color region, so the placement is forced.
Candidate scope — color region: E3; row 3: E3 and J3; column E: E3.
Exclusion rules — used rows/columns remove 5 cells (B2, C2, D2, C3, and F3) from the region; orthogonal/diagonal no-touch adds 1 cell (E2).
Forced conclusion — E3 is the color region's only legal cell.
9
Step 9: Place the cat at J6
J6 is the only legal cell left in its color region after the earlier placements remove every alternative.
Add J6 while keeping H4, F5, A7, I9, B10, C8, D1, and E3 fixed; the board diagram now shows 9/10 cats.
With H4, F5, A7, I9, B10, C8, D1, and E3 already fixed, used rows or columns exclude 8 cells, including I4, J4, I5, J5, H6, and I6 from this color region, while the no-touch rule adds no further region exclusion. The region containing J6 is left with J6; row 6 still allows J6, and column J still allows J2 and J6. Only J6 remains in the required color region, so the placement is forced.
Candidate scope — color region: J6; row 6: J6; column J: J2 and J6.
Exclusion rules — used rows/columns remove 8 cells (I4, J4, I5, J5, H6, and I6 among them) from the region; orthogonal/diagonal no-touch adds 0 cells.
Forced conclusion — J6 is the color region's only legal cell.
10
Step 10: Place the cat at G2
G2 is the only legal cell left in its color region after the earlier placements remove every alternative.
Add G2 while keeping H4, F5, A7, I9, B10, C8, D1, E3, and J6 fixed; the board diagram now shows 10/10 cats.
With H4, F5, A7, I9, B10, C8, D1, E3, and J6 already fixed, used rows or columns exclude F2, H2, I2, J2, I3, and J3 from this color region, while the no-touch rule adds no further region exclusion. The region containing G2 is left with G2; row 2 still allows G2, and column G still allows G2. Only G2 remains in the required color region, so the placement is forced.
The completed Level 128 visual board: D1, G2, E3, H4, F5, J6, A7, C8, I9, and B10.
Logic recap
Why This Solves Level 128
The final placements (D1, G2, E3, H4, F5, J6, A7, C8, I9, B10) cover 10 rows and 10 columns exactly once. Each cat stays inside the 10x10 board and keeps the row, column, and no-touching rules intact.
Final check
Rows 1-10 each contain one cat.
Columns A-J each contain one cat.
No two final cats touch, including diagonally.

Practice Cat Logic Without Breaking Your Flow
Meowdoku blends Sudoku-style row and column logic with colored regions: place one cat in each region, and never let two cats share a row, share a column, or touch.
If ads or limited hearts interrupt your solving flow—or you simply want X marks and help tools close at hand—play the same style of cat logic on our original original practice boards.
The final cat positions are D1, G2, E3, H4, F5, J6, A7, C8, I9, B10.
How many cats are in Meowdoku Level 128?
Level 128 uses a 10x10 board, so the answer places 10 cats.
Do I need to watch the Level 128 video?
No. The written steps and board diagrams show the complete answer path. The video is only an optional reference.
