Easy solution: get a cat (or several). You'll either attribute every suspect noise to them or you can observe their reaction in case it happens again.

Problem for me is hearing a random noise in the kitchen and seeing both my cats with me.

This seems likely, it's my understanding this is how the cat distribution system works.

According to Pixie and Brutus / Litterbox, they just show up!

You could always just assume they shoved something to the edge of the counter and it finally fell in. Besides, if it were important, they'd get up to investigate

I have done ths. Weird sounds happening and the cat is acting fine. If the cat is not worried neither am I.

I got a Chihuahua instead. If it's something out of the ordinary, she'll bark. Oh, she will certainly bark.

My cat growls if someone is at the door. I don't worry about shit. It's great.

It's all fun and games until every door in your house slams at 5 in the morning like mine did ~~last night~~

Edited to make sense

... morning ... night

Well there's your problem.

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sounds interesting. Have you tried to film it?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We had the windows open because it was a nice, cool night and then a thunderstorm came in with a gust of wind.

Ghasts and ghosts.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

5 is definitely night time in my world.

[–] numberfour002@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'll drink to that. It's never anything interesting anyway. Always something mundane like evil "booing" or scraping noises from the basement. I ain't got time to stress with the devil's mess.

"Either haunt quieter or start paying rent!"

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Ok, but what's the conversion rate for blood drenched gold doubloons?

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 16 points 10 months ago

Its the noise that cried wolf. I'm in bed, I'm not getting up anymore to go find nothing waiting to kill me. Whatever it was will have to come to me if it wants me dead.

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

huge vibe shift, hope everybody survives

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

You're gonna carry that weight.

This is me with the fire alarm.

"Did the neighbors set it off?"

"Was it a ghost that has been haunting me?"

"Did a bunch of mischievous playing a prank of me"

"Better wait and see if it's an actual real emergency."

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

i cant do this, im always imagining the house burning down or something

[–] nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Their point is they no longer care
