Liane sent me this demo of an awesome little electric cat she built from wire, a pager motor, and a coin cell battery – so simple and cool! The battery pressure switch is a very nice touch (npi!). This could be a big hit on Halloween with a little fake fur coat

Very sweet.
How about putting the cell in front of the cat like a food bowl and adding a reed switch to it. Make a mouse with a magnet in it’s nose so whenever he comes along to steal the cat’s food the cat throws a wobbly!
ha – right on!
Meow….
(^.^)
That is cool…
