This answer penalized me for word order with Proč nehledá ta kočka myši. I hear Czechs use this word order often especially in the north east, perhaps adopting germanic word order, but have been told that other than the important second spot word (jsem, se, and the other object articles) that word order is a matter of style

I thought the verb would be nehleda but was unsure of the ending so I checked it and it told me nevidi instead, which was wrong...

That's what I thought, that was why I was confused when the hint said that was the verb to use. I reported it as an incorrect hint, but I also wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing about why that was what it suggested.
Emphasizing is not the exact word. It is actually making it the comment/rheme/focus. See https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic_and_comment
