Anyone have any good ideas on this?
I got a mini string of AA powered flashing christmas lights at a hobby store but I don't know if it would be too much.
If anyone has any ideas on how to make some practicle flashers then lets hear them.
If anyone knows the details of hooking the budweiser light to the AAs I would like to hear that too.
Also, any tips on using at the set would be sweet.

Get a battery holder that holds 2 AA batteries that has wire leads and solder a flashing red LED to the leads, the long leg on the LED is positive so it goes to the red wire, put a couple batteries in, wrap it with tape and use it.
A little nail polish on the LED to make it dim helps too, the dimmer the better.

Seems a bit much to me....

Bob, I heard you had an early commercial venture in this area. Don't be holding out now.
Could I wrap my 6 feet of blinking christmas lights around a juniper and set back from it aways?

Amazing what an extra $50 or so will cause people to try to capitalize on getting a cat.
If windy you could put up mini turbines that could power strobe lights or blinking lights, that ought bring them in at night.

ok, just walk around with nothing in your cart but a loaf of bread, a 8 pack of hot dogs, one onion, one gallon bottle of catchup and nothing else. just go around real slow and kind of hang out at the apropriate places and look lonely and bewildered. stay out of the cerial lane as that means they have a passle of rug rats. if not looking for anything permanent hang out in the veggie department. permanent the meat counter. it`s just like trapping, you`ll get the hang of it. mainly you just have to be there, same as trapping.

It works the opposite way around here Bob, at least for the attractive, desirable kinda women who are educacted and have high $$$ jobs.
They look in your cart to see what you're making to see if you have domestic skills. The fish counter is where I find em', give em' a quick recipe and then I wheedle about how much more fun it is to cook with someone and would she like a lesson in shucking oysters or filleting a fish.
Then, when she's standing in my kitchen, with one dog in front of her with his nose in her crotch , the other behind her with his nose in her ass, I can judge whether she's a keeper or not by how well she deals with the situation.

Our daughter is what I would call a young upscale type. She is a prof, recently married and mid 30s. Based on her likes dislikes, busy life. I have grocery shopped with her a few times head to the areas with the South Beach Type foods, lots of cheeses, pistachios etc.
Better yet drive the better neighborhoods and walk the parking lots of the Star bucks the small cars with the take out Chinese, Tia and others may be worth following up on.
Just not something I ever gave much thought to . I grow great vegetables in my garden and have not met any of these types wandering the rows of the peppers, etc..

JWarren, Use them just like you would a squeaker. I think a string of lights might freak-em out unless it was a hyper-agressive tom on meth, or a bi-polar tom off his meds.
The key to making flashers is using as low voltage bulb as you can find. I think TK is correct that red is important as is doesn't burn their eyes or temporarly blind them. Keep them dim.
My expierence is that they will call coyotes further than cats. Last year, two coyotes side hilled it over 500yds up into a boulder pile, I tracked them into the set on the snow, they only come to within 25-30' of the cubby, a very tight cubby made out of thin slabs of rock. Another pack (3-5) actually knocked one off a rimrock and stomped all around it, pretty bizarre. (Wouldn't of believed it if I hadn't seent it) Freud's "group think theory" and hunger definitley played a role.
I think with cats they cause the prey-rush-kill instinct, if they are dim enough, and the set is constructed accordingly.
