Fling-ama-String Cat Toy UPGRADE

Fling-ama-String... just another cat toy from Cousin Murf? Maybe so, but it's one they have yet to get tired of! Gracie here likes it so much, we had to design an easy fix around the meager power supply of 3 AA batteries. We built 3 Radio Shack D Cell battery holders onto a small piece of wood, then clipped a metal clothes hanger hook to it and hung it on the other inside door knob. We used a cheap (mechanical ticking) timer switch that you can find at the hardware store- for bathroom ceiling fans, maybe $16. The D cells last a long time and it shuts itself off after 5 or 20 minutes- our Gracie here has had enough after ten minutes, anyway. We were going through three AA batteries every week- with the increased power of D Cells and the timer- it's lasted 6 weeks so far... and still going strong! Fling-ama-String seems to have revived our 19 year old Himilayan from the clutches of death for one last romp- he loves it, too.

Here's now to do the upgrade: http://www.instructables.com/id/Fling-ama-String-Upgrade-20-a-Cat-Toy-Improved/
