device, but in recent years (I am 75) I frequently get confused,
and think that something from the TV is a real sound, (usually
something behind me.) So, I jump up and look behind me foolishly,
when the noise just came from the TV or whatever.....My cats, on
the other hand, pay no attention to any program material from the
TV, but should something real happen, they perk right up
immediately, telling me that its a "real" noise.
I have a phone app that generates high pitched noise and it is
amusing seeing who in a crowd can hear it. Unsurprisingly, the name
of the app is "Teen Repellant"
One of my cats (B-K, whom I picked up in a Burger King parking lot) comes
when I call him with a "dog whistle" It's amazing how far away he can hear
that whistle. All I have to do is leave the front door ajar, and blow that
whistle, and he shows up in about 10 or 15 minutes.....
10 or 15 minutes? How old is that cat?
