I had one about 10 years ago when they came out....I tore it apart, counter weighted it's butt so it would sit back down when powered down and hooked the motor to a wall wart power supply and simply plugged it into a fright ideas controller with motion sensor with a cat screech sound effect....I've since thrown the cat out and re-purposed the controller for a different prop....You can very vaguely see it in the video below at about the 2 minute mark.....ZR
