Lol and I've been trying to find ways that makes my life easier cleaning litter box.
Was thinking getting one of those litter robots but it's rather huge for my place and it's rather expensive.
Recently got this new litter box, much cheaper and you do not need to scoop at all....damn it's a savior
I'll post the link if your interested

I know what you're saying, it's the same with our dog he can be sleeping on the sofa with normal home noises he just keeps his eyes shut then when say a delivery man is coming up the driveway with a package which I can't even hear him coming he jumps up and starts growling lol

A dog may/should sniff rather than hear - that's their primary sense (reportedly).

Ours is classed as a hound and sure he's blessed with both sniff and hear

Thanks but where I'm living (Beijing) shipping is going to be a pain. And I can probably find cheaper alternatives

Dogs are highly trainable. Cats tend to develop habits.

Cat hearing is not only very sensitive, it has SUPER location ability - they can discriminate 2 sounds placed 6 inches apart at a distance of over 50 feet. They can then easily decide to disregard it because it is just a mouse, and killing mice is YOUR job you lazy human. If it were their sister trying to sneak food from their bowl, then we'd have to do something.

House cats are useless for mice, mine got scared when playing and seeing a pet mouse the first time...

Haha, funny, . It's a Zinfandel wine. My favorite. I know, not a proper wine glass. Never liked 'proper wine glasses.' Love these. Got a set of four that my daughter bought for me. Love them even more cause she bought them for me. Use them all the time

It's much better than a typical wine cup in my opinion too and makes it better that it was a gift!
