Modified Home Depot Cat Skeleton

Picked up an inexpensive cat skeleton at Home Depot that had very basic animation. Replaced the stock cheezy red LEDs with yellow ones, covered each with a round blob of clear silicone caulk and then added a thin vertical pupil. Then added a second motor to animate the tail (which was the involved part of this project, requiring a lot of modification of the OEM circuit) and gave the skeleton the classic gel stain treatment. Below is a link to video of the finished product as it will appear in my graveyard:

I would be interested in how you made the tail move. I have the same cat. Thanks
