Meowdoku is a free, browser-based cat logic puzzle where you place one cat in every row, column, and colored region, with no two cats touching; the official iOS and Android apps are also available.
What is Meowdoku?
Meowdoku is a puzzle game in the "one cat per region" family. Each board requires exactly one cat per row, column, and colored region, and no two cats may be adjacent, including diagonals. Every puzzle has a single logical solution, so guessing is never needed. The game is free to play in any modern web browser on phones, tablets, and desktops, with native apps for iOS and Android. The original app is developed by Oakever Games, though Meowdoku Playbook is a fan-made guide site with no affiliation.

How does Meowdoku work?
Each puzzle presents a grid divided into colored regions. You place cats by tapping or double-tapping cells, ensuring exactly one cat per row, column, and region, with no two cats adjacent (including diagonals). The game marks ✕ on cells you eliminate, and you have 3 fish crackers; a wrong placement costs one. Logic alone suffices to solve every puzzle.
