What sounds are you hearing now?

Bits of the cat purring as she falls asleep. Birds outside.

The dog who doesn't normally bark, barking in the backyard. It was in response to barking coming from a dog down the street. I guess she was getting the morning report and she had an opinion about it.

The hammering of my landlord building a new shed in the backyard.

Casualties of Cool playing on my computer. Rain outside.

The freezer, the fridge, Kayleigh sneezing and sniffing (allergies) and the neighbours talking.

Cat "knocking" the door.

I've let him in while typing this post.
Sirius is a sound genius. He knows how to make a hell of a noise.

The backdoor has a draft strip. He pulls it towards him and then lets it flip. There is no where in my house where you can escape that sound.

When we moved here from another house (about five miles away) we had an amazing cat (neutered, male, rescued from a shelter, hunter, front claws tragically removed, had had a horrible accident being run over by two cars and left for dead, many pins in his body holding him together[we spent almost three thousand dollars to try to keep him alive,with multiple surgeries, etc. He was our three thousand dollar cat!   ... and he was amazing to the end!!], about nine years old when we moved) who would not accept our new location.

He used to come to our front door (at the "old place") and "knock"  in an effort to make the door open enough that he could come inside. Interestingly, it was a friend of the family who moved in after we left the "old house." It was the first day after we moved when he found his way back to the "old house" completely dissatisfied with the fact that we had moved.

It took three tries where we had to go get him each time before he finally accepted the fact that we had moved.

The poor Old Lady who had moved into the "old house" was beside herself with the knowledge that someone was knocking on the door and yet no one was there, then she would encounter the cat making himself at home.

Cats are fucking awesome!!

After three tries to show him his poopy place and his food bowl he finally accepted our new home and began to make this his home. He lived another twelve years, making him around twenty one or two when he died. Quite advanced age for a cat. I still am reminded of him every day.

Cats are awesome indeed.

Sirius can't open doors, unless they are ajar. He will not even try it. He knows how to get us to do that; by sound.
If he decides he wants attention at night, he'll start with a soft sound. He has listed all scratching places it seems. He builds up till the sound is thus that I am sure he will either wake the kids, or the neighbours. Three times I decided not even to react then. That is when he went for wallpaper on a thin double wall at the outside of the bathroom. In between he will check up on my breath, to see if I am really sleeping or not. When he realises I am faking, he now and then will use his nails to get me awake. There are nights I despise the critter.
But when he purrs, while I want to sleep, I love him to bits again. He's a great companion to sleep with.

Not that I wanted to have cats in the bedroom at first. But, Luna can open any door that is not locked or bolted. So, every night before I go to bed, I have an extra reason to check on my locks. She's the caring critter in this household. When the youngest was a kid, she'd come and defend her, slapping me, if we were mock-fighting. She grooms all of us in this household. According to my oldest, she's the second mother in the house.
When she purrs, it is with a happy rattle in it. She is the talkative one of the two cats, with lots of different tone effects, sometimes she sounds like a bird.

Currently hearing a dog panting in my ear. She's sitting beside me with her head on my shoulder.
