Logic recap
Why This Solves Level 188
The final placements (G1, D2, J3, H4, C5, F6, I7, B8, E9, A10) 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 G1, D2, J3, H4, C5, F6, I7, B8, E9, A10.
How many cats are in Meowdoku Level 188?
