Attach your next clue of choice to a bat. If you have a barn hang it from a beam. If not, there is an extra clue with a blank, where the word "barn" now is, that you can use to fill in an alternate location. It that case hang the bat anywhere in that location.

Cut the cats out of bristol board or purchase toy cats. If you have a fence, line the cats up along the fence (one will have a clue attached). If you don't have a fence, there is an extra clue with a blank, where the word "fence" now is, that you can use to fill in an alternate location. In that case line up the cats anywhere in that location.
