Great, I like the cats!

Anyway I was thinking about a combination timing lock like this: http://castlefortify.com/?id=c5cc19c
The top dog needs to be more to the right but I run out of space... This map needs to be bigger

You need to step on the right field at the right time.
If you make one wrong move the lock will be blocked and can't be opened anymore.
There will be no feedback until you... die

Here I build three timers but I designed it so you can start cheap and build one timer with $2000 and build it up later.
I tried different versions until I came up with this.
Each timer is only two fields height so you can build up to 15 timer locks!
Triggered with e-doors you can make the timers wait for each other.

Compared to a normal combination lock with switches this is cheaper because you don't need big walls that can be broken if you have family.
Also there are more combinations because instead of 1bit switches you have >7 step timers.
16bit: 2^16=65.536
7 timers with 7 steps each: 7^7=823.543
This is not the maximum, so if you manage to build a 32bit lock this still beats you easily: 7^15 > 2^32

I think combination looks are ok. What I would like to see is a way to disable e-floors when they are powered off. We could use the wire cutter for this.
Also I am thinking about a mobile battery or wires to take a long. This way you don't have to solve the combination you can just power up what ever is blocking you.
