Choose Play, then level 1 in the 4×4 section. Complete one grid for this trophy. I would switch to numbers with while learning the rules, using the numbered-display control on the right.

Select an empty cell, open its cat/number popup and choose the entry to place there. Keep the printed starting entries and fill the remaining cells. Use 1–4 once in every row, column and outlined 2×2 box.

Here is the completed first grid. Each line is one row, starting at the top:

3 4 1 2
1 2 4 3
2 1 3 4
4 3 2 1

Check the existing entries against this arrangement before filling the blanks. If you put a number in the wrong square, select it again and choose its replacement. Finish the grid and wait for the completion result before leaving. Then return to the level screen to check it has been marked complete.

On the base-puzzle selection screen, choose the 4×4 section and complete levels 1–3. These are the numbered base grids, rather than the separate Extra puzzles.

Use 1–4 once in every row, column and outlined 2×2 box. Start with a nearly filled row, column or box. List its missing digits, then check the crossing row and column for each empty cell. Place a digit when only one candidate remains. You can also look for a digit that has only one legal position in that row, column or box. Repeat as each placement narrows the remaining choices.

Press to enter the customization controls and choose the numbered display if you prefer digits to cats. Select an empty cell to open its choice popup, then choose the number you want to place. If an entry is wrong, select that cell again and replace it.

Read the reference image's rows from top to bottom and its columns from left to right. Match the grid size and level number before entering anything. Some images leave a final cell or two blank. Fill those with the digit missing from the row, checking its column and outlined box too.

The trophy follows completion of all three levels in this range. Finish each grid before leaving it, then check the level-selection screen for any unfinished number. A partly filled grid does not count.

External grid reference: 4×4, levels 1–3 cat and number images (nana, Steam)

Complete 5 different base puzzles. The base menu has 4×4, 6×6 and 9×9 groups. Extra puzzles do not count toward this total, and replaying the same completed board does not replace an unfinished one.

Following this route, the milestone arrives after 4×4 level 5. For this first milestone, finish five of the six 4×4 grids. Continue with the remaining base boards afterwards. The first-grid instructions in First Step explain cell entry and correction.

Wait for each board's completion result and use the level menu to find unchecked puzzles if the trophy is missing. Continue toward Cat Person, which requires every base board.

On the base-puzzle selection screen, choose the 4×4 section and complete levels 4–6. These are the numbered base grids, rather than the separate Extra puzzles.

External grid reference: 9×9, levels 10–12 cat and number images (nana, Steam)

Complete every numbered base puzzle: six 4×4 grids, nine 6×6 grids and twelve 9×9 grids. That is 27 different completions. The separate extras are for Extra Love.

Work through the size groups in that order and check each numbered tile on the level-selection screen. The nine cat-named range trophies each cover three base grids, so a missing range trophy points to the group of levels to check. First Step gives a complete example and the cell-entry method.

For larger boards, use the numbered display in the customization controls. Start with a nearly filled row, column or box. List its missing digits, then check the crossing row and column for each empty cell. Place a digit when only one candidate remains.

The trophy follows the final missing base clear. If it does not appear, check the base menu's numbered levels for an unfinished puzzle before spending time on the extras. Finish each board and let its completion result appear before moving to another.

External grid reference: all three base grid sizes cat and number images (nana, Steam)

From the base-puzzle selection screen, press for Extra puzzles. Complete all 12 boards in this separate menu. The first four use 6×6 grids and the remaining eight use 9×9 grids.

These are extra puzzles, not extra clears of the base boards. They do not contribute to Cat Person or the base-count milestones. I would finish the base route first, then work through these numbered extra boards in order.

For 6×6 boards, use 1–6 once per row, column and two-row by three-column box. For 9×9 boards, use 1–9 with 3×3 boxes. Start with a nearly filled row, column or box. List its missing digits, then check the crossing row and column for each empty cell. Place a digit when only one candidate remains. You can also look for a digit that has only one legal position in that row, column or box. Repeat as each placement narrows the remaining choices.
