Hint: how to open level 17

The first three logical moves on this board, in order. Stop reading after the first one if you only want a nudge.

  1. Only one cell is left in the Rose region, so the cat must go there. Cat at row 5, column 2.
  2. Every open cell of the Butter region lies in row 6. That cat will use row 6, so the other cells of row 6 can be crossed out. Cross out row 6, column 6 .
  3. Every open cell of the Lilac region lies in column 3. That cat will use column 3, so the other cells of column 3 can be crossed out. Cross out row 3, column 3 .
