Meowdoku alternative
Like Meowdoku? Try Paw Plots
Meowdoku turned the Queens puzzle into a cat game: put one cat in each colored region, never two in a row or column, and never touching. Paw Plots plays exactly the same way, with a few things cat (and dog) lovers have been asking for: your own pet as the pieces, hints that teach, and no ads.
The same puzzle
One per row
Every row gets exactly one pet.
One per column
Every column gets exactly one pet.
One per color
Every colored region gets exactly one pet.
No touching
Pets can’t touch, not even diagonally.
Everything you learned in Meowdoku carries over. New to the deeper tricks? The strategy guide walks through six techniques with real boards.
What Paw Plots adds
- Your own pet as the pieces. Snap a photo and Paw Plots lifts your cat or dog right out of the picture, on your phone. The photo never leaves it. Or play with Mochi, Biscuit, Clover, Peanut, Kiwi and Shelly.
- No ads, ever. Paw Plots doesn’t show ads, not even in the free version. A one-time purchase unlocks all levels, your own photos and extra themes.
- Hints that explain. Each hint shows the squares that matter and says why, so you get better instead of just unstuck.
- A daily puzzle for the whole world. Free in your browser with no download, and in the apps. Same board for everyone, with streaks and a spoiler-free share.
- 1,000+ levels. Graded from 6×6 to 10×10, every one verified to have a single solution reachable by logic alone.

Questions
Is Paw Plots a cat game?
It’s a pet game: cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, birds and turtles out of the box, and in the app, any pet you can photograph.
Is Paw Plots “cat sudoku”?
People often call this puzzle a cat or pet sudoku, but the rules are closer to Queens and Star Battle: there are no numbers, just one pet per row, column and color, and no two touching.
Can I try it without downloading anything?
Yes. Today’s puzzle is free in your browser, and there’s a quick 5×5 to learn on the home page.
Meowdoku is a game by its own developer. Paw Plots isn’t affiliated with it.
