Meowdoku Level 95 Guide: The Rose and Apricot Handshake
Meowdoku Level 95 is a medium eight by eight board where apricot claims row 2, rose claims row 1, and a neighbor cross at row 6, column 6 finishes the soda cat.
Meowdoku Level 95 is a medium eight by eight board with eight colors, and it takes twenty-four steps to finish, sixteen of which are crosses. That makes it one of the busier medium levels, but almost all of the work uses a single friendly technique that you can apply again and again. Meowdoku is a free cat puzzle game that plays in your browser, and this level is a great workout for reading a board top to bottom.
The lone matcha tile gives you a free start, and then the top three rows resolve themselves in a neat chain where each color hands the next one its answer. The only genuinely tricky step comes near the end, in row 6. This guide covers the layout, the opening, the chain, the soda deduction, and the habits that make these logic puzzle games flow.

The Meowdoku Level 95 board
The eight colors are rose, apricot, butter, matcha, mint, soda, periwinkle, and lilac. Matcha is the smallest region on the board by far, a single tile at row 4, column 1, pressed against the left edge. Rose is three tiles at row 1, columns 2 and 3 plus row 2, column 2, and apricot is three tiles running across row 2, columns 3, 4, and 5.
Lilac holds seven tiles in the bottom right, butter holds ten down the right side, mint holds eleven on the left, periwinkle holds twelve in the bottom left, and soda is the giant of this cat puzzle game with seventeen tiles carving through the middle and right. Soda is the color you will keep bumping into, and it is also the color at the heart of the level's hardest step.
Notice how rose and apricot interlock in the top left. Rose sits in rows 1 and 2, apricot sits only in row 2, and butter fills most of row 1 to the right of them. That knot is where the solve really begins in these animal games.
The opening: matcha at row 4, column 1
Your first cat in Meowdoku Level 95 goes on row 4, column 1. Matcha is a single tile, so the matcha cat has exactly one home, and technique T1 makes that the forced opening before any crosses are needed.
Placing that cat clears all of row 4, all of column 1, and the tiles touching it. That immediately puts pressure on mint, which runs down the left side, and it clears the way for the row chain in the top three rows. A one-tile color at the edge of a board is always worth finding first in brain games like this.
The chain: apricot, rose, and butter each claim a row
With the matcha cat down, every open apricot tile sits in row 2, so row 2 must hold the apricot cat. That immediately crosses out the rose tile at row 2, column 2, and now every open rose tile sits in row 1, so row 1 belongs to rose. Out come the butter tiles at row 1, columns 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, all in one sweep. This is technique T3, a color locked to one line, applied twice in a row with the second lock created by the first.
The apricot row lock still has work to do: cross the butter tiles at row 2, columns 6 and 8 and the soda tile at row 2, column 7. Butter has now been pushed entirely into row 3, so row 3 belongs to butter, and the mint tiles at row 3, columns 3 and 4 can go. Mint is left with one open tile at row 5, column 3, which is your second cat.
The chain keeps paying out. Rose falls to its last open tile at row 1, column 2. Then butter claiming row 3 clears the soda tiles at row 3, columns 5 and 7, and a periwinkle column lock in column 4 clears the apricot tile at row 2, column 4, leaving apricot alone at row 2, column 5. Butter follows at row 3, column 8. Four colors, four rows, and no guessing anywhere in this cat puzzle game.
The key moment: pinning soda down in row 6
The hardest deduction in Meowdoku Level 95 arrives with the sixth cat and needs two crosses of different kinds. First, every open soda tile now sits in column 7, so column 7 belongs to soda and the lilac tile at row 8, column 7 can be crossed out.
Second, and this is the only use of technique T4 on the board, look at the tile at row 6, column 6. It touches every open soda tile that remains, which means the soda cat would be sitting right beside it no matter which option soda takes. Two cats may never touch, not even diagonally, so row 6, column 6 is dead and you can cross it.
With that tile gone, row 6 has exactly one open tile left, the soda tile at row 6, column 7, and the sixth cat settles there by technique T2. Lilac then drops to row 8, column 6 and periwinkle finishes the board at row 7, column 4. The lesson worth keeping is that a column lock and a neighbor cross often need to be combined; either one alone would have left you looking at a stuck board.
A checklist for medium Meowdoku boards
Medium levels like this one sit in a sweet spot: they need real technique but never require anything beyond what the game has already taught you. The main risk on Level 95 is missing one of the fifteen line locks and concluding that the board is unsolvable, which it never is.
Run through this short checklist whenever a medium board in these free online games stops moving.
- Look for a color whose open tiles all share one row or column, then clear every other color out of that line.
- After each lock, check whether the colors you just shrank have created a new lock of their own.
- Keep an eye on both directions, since Level 95 needs row locks in rows 1, 2, and 3 and column locks in columns 4 and 7.
- Count the open tiles in each row and column, because a line with one open tile is an immediate cat.
- Before giving up, test whether a tile touches every remaining option of one color, which makes it safe to cross.
Step-by-step Meowdoku Level 95 solution
Every cat below is forced by logic, in the order a careful solver finds them. No guessing is needed. If you only want a nudge, read one step, close this page, and return to the game.
Cat 1: row 4, column 1 (matcha)
The matcha region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 4, column 1. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 2: row 5, column 3 (mint)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open apricot tile sits in row 2, so that row's cat must be apricot. Cross out the rose tile at row 2, column 2.
- Every open rose tile sits in row 1, so that row's cat must be rose. Cross out the butter tile at row 1, column 4.
- Every open rose tile sits in row 1, so that row's cat must be rose. Cross out the butter tile at row 1, column 5.
- Every open rose tile sits in row 1, so that row's cat must be rose. Cross out the butter tile at row 1, column 6.
- Every open rose tile sits in row 1, so that row's cat must be rose. Cross out the butter tile at row 1, column 7.
- Every open rose tile sits in row 1, so that row's cat must be rose. Cross out the butter tile at row 1, column 8.
- Every open apricot tile sits in row 2, so that row's cat must be apricot. Cross out the butter tile at row 2, column 6.
- Every open apricot tile sits in row 2, so that row's cat must be apricot. Cross out the soda tile at row 2, column 7.
- Every open apricot tile sits in row 2, so that row's cat must be apricot. Cross out the butter tile at row 2, column 8.
- Every open butter tile sits in row 3, so that row's cat must be butter. Cross out the mint tile at row 3, column 3.
- Every open butter tile sits in row 3, so that row's cat must be butter. Cross out the mint tile at row 3, column 4.
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the first cat crossed out, the mint region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 5, column 3. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 3: row 1, column 2 (rose)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 2 cats placed so far crossed out, the rose region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 1, column 2. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 4: row 2, column 5 (apricot)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open butter tile sits in row 3, so that row's cat must be butter. Cross out the soda tile at row 3, column 5.
- Every open butter tile sits in row 3, so that row's cat must be butter. Cross out the soda tile at row 3, column 7.
- Every open periwinkle tile sits in column 4, so that column's cat must be periwinkle. Cross out the apricot tile at row 2, column 4.
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 3 cats placed so far crossed out, the apricot region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 2, column 5. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 5: row 3, column 8 (butter)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 4 cats placed so far crossed out, the butter region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 3, column 8. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 6: row 6, column 7 (soda)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open soda tile sits in column 7, so that column's cat must be soda. Cross out the lilac tile at row 8, column 7.
- The tile at row 6, column 6 touches every open tile left in the soda region. Wherever the soda cat lands, it would touch this tile, so cross it out.
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 5 cats placed so far crossed out, row 6 has only one open tile left, the soda tile at row 6, column 7, so its cat goes there. Technique: Last open tile in a row or column.
Cat 7: row 8, column 6 (lilac)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 6 cats placed so far crossed out, the lilac region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 8, column 6. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 8: row 7, column 4 (periwinkle)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 7 cats placed so far crossed out, the periwinkle region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 7, column 4. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Meowdoku Level 95 solved board
Here is the finished board. Every row, every column, and every color holds exactly one cat, and no two cats touch, not even at the corners.
Meowdoku Level 95 FAQ
What is the solution to Meowdoku Level 95?
In solve order the cats go on row 4, column 1 (matcha); row 5, column 3 (mint); row 1, column 2 (rose); row 2, column 5 (apricot); row 3, column 8 (butter); row 6, column 7 (soda); row 8, column 6 (lilac); and row 7, column 4 (periwinkle).
What is the first move in Meowdoku Level 95?
Place the first cat on row 4, column 1, the only tile in the matcha region. Because a one-tile color cannot go anywhere else, this opening is completely forced and it starts the whole chain in this cat puzzle game.
How do I place the soda cat in Meowdoku Level 95?
Soda is locked to column 7, so cross the lilac tile at row 8, column 7. Then cross the tile at row 6, column 6, because it touches every open soda tile and the soda cat would always be its neighbor. Row 6 is then down to one open tile, the soda tile at row 6, column 7.
Why does row 1 belong to rose in Meowdoku Level 95?
Apricot is confined to row 2, so the rose tile at row 2, column 2 gets crossed out. That leaves every remaining rose tile in row 1, which means row 1 must hold the rose cat and the five butter tiles at row 1, columns 4 through 8 can all be crossed out.
