I bought one of these animatronic cats at the flea market for 2 bucks. Seems logical,
flea market... cat (LOL) The one I bought is pitch black, which is purrrfect for Halloween. I was thinking about putting it on top of a tombstone or incorporating it with another prop.Let me know if you have any ideas.. I know nothing about hacking, but maybe it could be controlled by remote or something ?

I have one of these and 3 of the kittens, I ran wires from all the sensors inside the cat, and the kittens (there is only one sensor in the kitten) to a PROP-1. I had it kind of working a few halloweens ago, but the program need tweaking due to the different things the cat does when the different sensors are activated. for example he will meow angrly when his tail is pulled, and will pur when the sensors down his back are sequenced.

It meows angrily when its tail is pulled?

What about hanging it (by the tail) on string. You could pull the string manually or have a motor jerk it (activated by remote).

It reminds me of Huckleberry Finn. Something about swinging a dead cat.

Edit: Ooo, better idea. Instead of a string, use a small hangmans noose. A black cat with it's tail caught in a hangman's noose is both funny, creepy, and sad. You could evoke three strong emotions all with one prop.

I like the idea of it on something and when TOTs come by, it meows angrily and starts moving.
