Mouse trap reverse
This is the reverse of the mouse-trap automata. An old video recorder provided a source for some of the gears, other parts were mostly made from stock brass. To get the door to open, the mouse to emerge, retreat and re-emerge further and then have the cat pounce at that moment was a complex piece of geometry. My pleasure is in the achievement of the action and less so in the finish of the actual picture.
