Strategy

When playing this stage it is incredibly easy to create stack of Cyberpunk cats. Use Zamboney cat to kill one doge near your base and let as many doges as possible stack up. Summon another Zamboney cat directly off cooldown. From now on, every time a Zamboney cat dies, summon a new one. While doing this, create a massive stack of Cyberpunk cats. (Try to at least get 5-6 Cyberpunks, otherwise the slow will be inconsistent) Most other LD units you can stack will die to the Tackeys, so don't bother bringing them.

When either the doges you're stalling die or you feel comfortable with your stack of Cyberpunks, use the default Cat Cannon to kill all the doges, and start spamming dual erasers and Octopus cat. Shortly after, spawn a Fishman cat to trigger the base. Start summoning some good general area attackers, such as Cyborg cat, Cameraman cat or first form Gao. The dual erasers and Octopus cats should provide a decent defense until the Cyberpunks permaslow them. If the tackeys become permaslowed you have a pretty much guaranteed victory.

Note that having upgraded the Slow ability of you Cyberpunk cat using NP greatly increases your chance of success.

Throw in Awakened Bahamut cat to kill the tackeys and The Face faster.

A lineup using this strategy could be: Manic eraser cat (40), Eraser cat (20+30), Octopus cat (30), Fishman cat (30), Cyborg cat (40), Zamboney cat (40), Cyberpunk cat (30), Awakened Bahamut cat (30).

If you decide to fill the emtpy slots, remember to not spend too much cash on those units as meatshields and area attackers should be your priority.
