need help with the cat

[baize]

i've gotten the piece from the bird, i've pulled the red wires. i can't seem to figure out the panel to get the cat down. any help?

the pattern is in the walkthrough, and its not even hard...

Tie wire on the fence and make it current then remove the plug. Pull the red cord to move the ladder and go up and pull the cat by the tail

i've gotten the pattern (and checked it against the walkthrough). 

however, the ladder-robot has -already- moved over to the right (he started out on the left), and his drill is sitting on top of the left-hand box of red wires.  it's still plugged in, and i can't seem to reach it to unplug it (which, as i understand it, is what i'd need to do to electrify the bridge).  the wire (that the bird was on) is broken and tied to the bridge, the pattern is correct--but no 'lectricity. 

i can't imagine that i'd have to start all over (i've saved since the ladder-robot moved to the right)...anyone?  thoughts?

thanks!

You don't have to unplug the drill again after the ladder-bot has moved. If the pattern is correct and the wire is tied to the bridge there should be electricity running through it. Now you only have to climb the ladder one more time and scare the cat so he runs towards the bridge.

did you complete the puzzle on the lamp post - this gives the electricity to the wire connected to the fence

I'm stuck on the pattern with the lose piece in the lamp post. Is there a way to reset it? I mean even if i find a step by step solution it won't work once I've been messing with it for ever....
And no, I didn't save just prior to starting on the puzzle...

Edit: AAargh! It's much easier with seven pieces than with eight... I had been too clever and replaced the lose piece before I solved the puzzle. Funny how I always seem to find the answer immediately after I have given up and posted the question.
