Tool for the "lost cat" kit

This evening while picking up some fix-em-up's at the Lowe's store, I saw that they had LED flashlights on sale, so I bought one of the middle priced ones. It had a 1 watt LED, which is supposed to be moderately powerful from what I've read.

I was walking Cabela tonight and had the light with me, so I turned it on to try it out. I pointed it back toward the house (about 120 meters away), and the eyes of the 2 cats in the window shined a glistening blue. It was amazing, and quite a pretty blue too.

So, if you have a cat thats prone to darting out doors or wandering off, it might be handy to have an LED flashlight. If a cat is scared and hiding but still watching, it might make them lots easier to spot at night.

Just thought I'd mention that

That is amazing! I would have never thought 1W could do anything. I will have to pick one up even though I never allow my cat (soon to be cats) out.

Mike thanks for that tip... I'm going to get one and put it in my "kitty kit".

that's a great tip! I don't have to worry though....LuckyGirl is terrified of the door....if I even open it and she's near it she takes off ("no Momma, I don't wanna go back out in the wild!!!" ) and even though Louie gets brave and takes off out the front door, I have 2 front doors, so he would be locked in the foyer....
