There's actually a very slightly quicker way of doing it, which I worked out (without notes or help hehe \ ) if anyone is interested in saving like, 10 seconds of their time. Thought it might be worth posting, since the Tip.it guide still uses 24 steps instead of my 22. I've showed 3 other people through this puzzle in this way and it has worked for each of them too, so I think it's safe to assume that everyone has the same starting position from their 1st attempt, or afterwards if they reset. This is of course the 2nd version to get your purple cat, rather than to complete the quest in the first place. So, if you've already moved animals around, reset them to their start positions for this to work. Move the following animals directly to the empty cage next to them in this order: 1. Blackbird (to holding cage) 2. Lizard 3. Rat 4. Snail 5. Lizard 6. Bat 7. Spider 8. Lizard 9. Snail 10. Rat 11. Bat 12. Snail 13. Lizard 14. Spider 15. Snail 16. Bat 17. Rat 18. Lizard 19. Spider 20. Snail 21. Bat 22. Blackbird (back from holding cage)
