TBT: Nighttime Noises
CRASH. THUNK. SCRAAATCH.
Some households fall asleep to ocean sounds. Cat households get an original percussion arrangement performed somewhere just beyond the bedroom door.

This Throwback Thursday comic captures the moment you stop asking what that noise was and start addressing the entire house. You don't know which object is involved. You don't know whether the object survived. You just know the concert needs to end.
By morning, the likely suspects will be looking perfectly innocent, possibly asleep in a sunbeam. Apparently, being the headliner of the Midnight Furniture Inspection Tour is exhausting work.
To everyone who has ever shouted “KNOCK IT OFF!” into the darkness without leaving the blankets: we hear you. Unfortunately, so does the cat, and the encore may already be underway.
A peace offering for the sleep-deprived cat parent
You can't gift someone a guarantee of uninterrupted sleep. You can, however, show up with the Milton the Cat™ 2027 Page-A-Day Calendar and a card that says, “For everything your cat puts you through after bedtime.” Pair it with their favorite coffee for a holiday present that turns a familiar complaint into a shared laugh. Unlike the hallway concert, this surprise is actually welcome.
