You do not need to memorize a single answer sequence. In Cat Dash, a legal exit removes a cat without moving the others, so it cannot create a new blocker. The useful skill is spotting the next open lane. If you would like a nudge before a full answer, the level guides separate opening advice from solutions you can reveal.

The numbered diagrams show the exact starting positions of selected levels. Their labels identify individual cats, not breeds or unlock tiers. The game does not show these numbers on the board, but Keyboard play includes the same cat numbers alongside the breed name and direction. Each full answer also identifies the cat's head position and direction.

These four core help pages complement the eight wiki articles. About, contact and privacy pages are separate from the guide count.

How these guides are checked

Board dimensions, cat counts, starting exits and solution steps come from the same level pack used by the game. Every displayed solution is checked against the game's movement rule, one removal at a time. This establishes that a sequence works; it does not mean it is the only sequence or predict how difficult you will find it.

Coats and scenery can differ from your chosen team. Match a diagram by the level number, head position and direction. If you are returning to a partly cleared puzzle, its board will also differ from the starting diagram. You can keep solving that position, or restart the attempt if you want to follow the example from the beginning.
