#### 7. COW

Wait — let’s check again.

Actually, it’s found horizontally in row 4, columns 8–10:

#### 9. CAT
Look for “C-A-T”.
→ Found horizontally, row 2, columns 9–11:
```
Row 2: ... A T
```
Wait — let’s check row 2: `J K I S Z R M A` → ends with ‘A’, no ‘T’.

Try row 1, columns 9–11? `P B N C` — no.

Try row 10, columns 1–3: `G P S` — no.

Actually, look at row 2, columns 7–9:
```
Row 2: ... R M A → not CAT.
```

Wait — let’s scan again.

Found it! Row 10, columns 1–3 is G P S — not it.

Let’s try row 3, columns 9–11:
```
Row 3: ... W H T → no.
```

Wait — maybe diagonal?

Check row 8, column 10: `R` → row 9 col 11: `O` → no.

Ah! Look at row 10, columns 3–5:
```
Row 10: ... P S C → no.
```

Wait — let’s re-examine.

Actually, “CAT” is found horizontally in row 2, columns 8–10:
```
Row 2: ... M A → only two letters.
```

Wait — perhaps I made an error.

Let’s list the full grid row by row for clarity:

```
Row 1: G O A T P B N C
Row 2: J K I S Z R M A
Row 3: E S C O D W H T
Row 4: D H L H P D H O
Row 5: I E V D I C O W
Row 6: H E Z O O H R G
Row 7: K P I G T I S R
Row 8: W U X Q C H E A
Row 9: D U C K F Y M O
Row 10: G P S C H I C K
```

Now, search for “C-A-T”:

→ In row 1, columns 3–5: A T P → no.

→ In row 3, columns 3–5: C O D → no.

→ In row 8, columns 6–8: H E A → no.

Wait — what about row 10, columns 7–9? `I C K` — no.

Hold on — maybe vertical?

Column 3:
Row 1: A
Row 2: I
Row 3: C → that’s “A I C” — not CAT.

Column 4:
Row 1: T
Row 2: S
Row 3: O → T S O — no.

Wait — I think I found it!

Look at row 3, columns 10–12? But there are only 10 columns.

Wait — the grid has 10 columns and 10 rows.

Let me check row 8, columns 8–10:
```
Row 8: ... E A → only two letters.
```

Actually — here’s the correct one:

“CAT” is found horizontally in row 10, columns 7–9? No, that’s `I C K`.

Wait — I think I missed it.

Let’s look for “C”, then “A”, then “T” adjacent.

In row 2, column 10: `A` — above it row 1 col 10: `C`, below it row 3 col 10: `T` → so vertical!

✔ CAT is found vertically in column 10, rows 1–3:
```
Row 1, Col 10: C
Row 2, Col 10: A
Row 3, Col 10: T
```

Yes! That’s it.

✔ Location: Column 10, Rows 1–3 (downward)
