How to play Cat Nap

Cat Nap is a cat logic puzzle in the Star Battle and Queens family, similar to Meowdoku. The board is a square grid split into colored rooms, with as many rooms as rows. Place exactly one cat in every row, every column and every room. Two cats may never touch, not even diagonally.

How do I place a cat?

Tap a cell once to mark it with ✕ when you know no cat can sleep there. Tap again to place a cat, and a third time to clear the cell. With a keyboard, use the arrow keys to move, Space or Enter to cycle a cell, X for ✕, C for a cat and Delete to clear. Cats that break a rule turn red.

Is there a daily puzzle?

Yes. A new 7×7 daily puzzle appears every day, and everyone gets the same board. Practice mode has unlimited puzzles in four sizes: 5×5 Easy, 6×6 Medium, 7×7 Tricky and 8×8 Hard.

What if I get stuck?

Every puzzle has one solution that you can reach by logic, without guessing. Press Hint to fill in the next logical step and read which rule forced it, such as the only cell left in a row or a room that fits in a single column. There are no lives and no timer pressure, and Undo takes back any move.

Nap time rules

Every cat needs its own space.

  1. One cat in each row and column. A 7×7 board needs exactly 7 cats.
  2. One cat in each colored room. Rooms also carry a letter in the corner.
  3. No touching. Two cats can never be neighbors, not even diagonally.

Tap once for ✕ (no cat), twice for a cat, three times to clear. Undo takes back a move. Hint fills in the next logical step and explains the rule that forced it.

Keyboard: arrows move around the board; Space or Enter cycles a cell. X marks, C places a cat, Delete clears. U = undo, H = hint. Escape closes this panel.
