Strategy
Like with Head Shaker and Lots O' Lion, the key for this stage are spammable high DPS units, the restriction might limit the amount of spammable high DPS units you can use, but because you can still use units like Cameraman Cat or Cyborg Cat its not that problematic, like with Lots O' Lion, the key is to preserve Awakened Bahamut Cat as much as possible (since he will be your main damage source on this stage). If the player has already beaten Floor 30 and gotten Hermit Cat, he can become a surprinsingly valuable member by doing Shockwaves that can deal great damage to the Li'l Lion Cats (if all three hits connect) as well as chipping down incoming Li'l Lion Cats with them.
Strategy 1
Lineup: Gato Amigo, Jiangshi Cat, Riceball Cat, Cameraman Cat, Zamboney Cat, Paris Cat, Holy Valkyrie Cat, Awakened Bahamut Cat, Ururun Cat, Crimson Mina (optional). Levels: Special Cats: 30~40; Rare Cats: 40+.
Start with one Gato Amigo to clear the 2 Squire Rels. then spawn Zamboney Cat. After that spawn the first 5 Cats to block them. Spawn Paris Cat when possible. Never spawn Awakened Bahamut during this phase.
When the large group of Li'l Lions appears, if the player's Cats are high-level, they will lose some ground but the Li'l Lions will die one by one. Spawn Awakened Bahamut and Ururun Cat, if possible. It will take a few minutes to advance to the enemy base and destroy it.
Strategy 2
Lineup: Moneko, Neneko or Power Cutter Cat, Li'l Brave Cat (Unit Attack UP Sm), Skelecat, Necromancer Cat, Mr. (Research Effect UP Sm x2), Jiangshi Cat, Ramen Cat, Thaumaturge Cat (the most important of all), Cameraman Cat and Awakened Bahamut Cat.
Items: Rich Cat and Cat CPU (both needed) All units in Row 2 have to be at least Level 40 (except Bahamut Cat, who has to be Level 30). Start by spawning just Ramen Cats whenever you can. When the first Li'l Lion appears, start spawning Cameraman Cats and Jiangshi Cats too whenever you can. The 2 Research UP Combos make her and Ramen Cat more spammable. By the time the first Li'l Lion dies, the next one should appear. Try to stall for as long as possible and build up your Cameraman stack.
You might run low on cash, if so, stop spawning Cameraman Cats and only spawn them when you are around 1000¢. Eventually, your units will reach the base. Your Cameraman Cat stack has to be massive at that time, otherwise you will most certainly lose. When the tidal wave of Li'l Lions is released, turn on the Cat CPU. Don't worry about it spawning Combo Cats, for they can tank hits and protect your stack. If you run low on cash, deactivate the Cat CPU and spawn Cameraman, Ramen and Jiangshi. Remember to reactivate it when you have a decent amount of cash (~6,000¢). Of course, your stack will die down at a point, but when that time has come, the Li'l Lion spawn will be close to only one Lion at a time. Then, deactivate the Cat CPU and spawn Ramen, Paris, Jiangshi and Cameraman. If you've done it correctly, the enemy base will be destroyed soon.
A quick add-on: it MAY be helpful to manually spam Ramen, Jiangshi and Cameraman when you get the "Can't deploy anymore!" message. Also, this strategy works just fine if some cats are a little underleveled, but you need another cat's help if you do that.
Strategy 3
This stage is simply just a 4 star stage, where the same loadout can get you through most stages:
Lineup: Biohazard + Bony Bone + Sportswoman (Only going to be for combos); Jianjshi / Gato Amigo, Ramen, Maximum the Fighter, Cameraman, A. Bahamut (All level 35+, Bahamut 30+).
Recommended Items: Rich Cat
Send just one ramen to deal with the Squire Rels, once the first Lion spawns, let it come about 2/3 to your base, and start spamming your second row, except Bahamut. Keep spamming until the first Lion dies. This stack should be able to take out a few Lions without ever coming close to the enemy base. When your stack dies, there should be 1-3 lions stacked. Let them again come 2/3, and start spamming again, this time with Bahamut. Use your Cat Cannon wisely to protect Bahamut from any attacks, as the longer he survives the better. Your stack should overpowerthe handful of Lions and make their way to the base. Once the boss wave hits, keep spamming until your Bahamut dies. At this point one of two things will happen, either your cameraman stack will simply overpower the onslaught of Lions, or they will slowly fizzle out. This should only change how far upfield your stack can stay. Keep spamming, sending Bahamut back out when he recharges. You should be able to win without any problem.
