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
Sounds strange in this question. Naturally you would stress myši and not nehledá.
But: Proč ta kočka nic nehledá? and Proč ta kočka nehledá nic? are both fine.

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.
I see, I removed that hint. But be aware that the hint was saying "looking=dívá" and a different hint was saying "looking for=hledá", you should always look for the hints that translate the whole phrase, if there are any.

Not checked if it's the same in the Incub but in the lesson it has "hledat" as the hint for "looking for"

I mean the hint on the English phrase "looking for", the Czech word it gives is "hledat" rather than "hledá".
