It actually works pretty neat too. There's two plastic cats in the box (one yes and one no) but they're each set apart from each other facing the right angle corner of the box near the door. When the sliding door is moved aside it switches rapidly between one of two lights which is right above the door (each light facing one cat) for a random brief period until it stops on one cat giving you the answer. The alive/yes cat sits right in front of the window so if the light shines on it then the rest of the box is simply too obscured to see anything else, but the dead/no cat is set across from a small angled mirror so when it's illuminated it's reflection is projected onto the window screen and the non-illuminated yes cat is obscured. Yay for basic light properties of science!
