it's food o'clock

For Leon the cat it is always food o'clock somewhere.
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Someone just had lunch and left some crumbs all over the grid, and now Leon the cat is looking for them:
- Leon (r5c4) must visit every box exactly once and end his search on the empty plate (r5c2). (Leon's starting position counts as his visit to box 5)
- Leon jumps around the grid in chess knight moves knocking down the value of any cell he touches, making it zero (0).
- All the cells Leon touches have different digits.
- A clue outside the grid is the sum of the values of the first X cells in the corresponding row/column, where X is the value of the cell nearest to the clue.

For a few moments I thought the solution code didn't work but it was me being dumb! Great puzzle though, it's very well put together and I enjoy the cat theme :)
