Hints
  1. the H color region has only one open cell left — that's a forced cat.
  2. One color region only fits along Row 1; every other open cell on that line can be pawed out (✕).
  3. Every open cell in Row 1 attacks the same square, so no cat can sleep there — paw it out (✕).
When is the answer available?

Today's exact cat positions are held back until tomorrow so the leaderboard stays fair.

Catnap is a Queens / Star Battle logic puzzle: one cat per row, column, and color region, none touching. Every daily board has a single solution reachable by pure deduction.
