    Although the noise is never Brody - it is always the herd of elephants that disappear when I switch the light on.....

    Not even yell at the cats.... it wold be yelling at one specific cat. I know exactly which one did it based on the sound it makes. A thump would be Harry. A crash would be Pouncer. A herd of buffalo would be all of them

    I'd roll over unless I heard the sound of breaking glass. I wouldn't want them cutting their darling little pawsies.

    A noise like that, I'd know it was Fister! So no need to worry, he's only trying to open the cupboard and investigate what's in there.

    On the poll, I marked the last option.

    In reality though, I do go check to see if A. anyone got hurt and B. if anything got broken and needs immediate attention for clean up.

    Some crashes I recognize; Sparkle LOVES to clear off the top of the night stand; the chest of drawers; the kitchen table. So I know THOSE sounds. Sigh.

    As for anyone getting hurt, mostly that is when the cats beat up on the dogs; a daily occurrence around here lately. Chestnut spent 9 years being the omega cat; picked on by each and every cat who lived here. Now he has FOUR dogs he can swat at will and get a reassuring YELP! He does it just for the noise factor.

    Snerk! I've always thought it was an invisible herd of horses. Wow, have I been wrong here.

    I chose the last option and it would most likely be either Sunny, Pearl, or Ziggy who made the noise.LOL

    Option #4!! I usually recognize the sound, as mocha and autumn both like to clear my dressers at night. So i just yell at them to cool it, and go back to sleep! But once in a while they suprise me with something new! Just the other night, I heard a crash I had never heard before, so I got up to investigate, and the darn cats had opened and dumped a drawer in the kitchen!

    Nemo, our lovely fluffy guest, has found that he loves to tip over the dogs water!! The dogs use a 5 gallon bucket for water, as it is the biggest thing I can find to keep them happy, even tho I still have to refill it twice a day! Nemo like to dump it once it reaches the gallon mark!! So i have to fill the bucket up to 4-5 times a day, just to make sure there is enough water so Nemo cant tip it over!!
    Maggie,

    I didn't slap you, I just high fived your Face!

    Option 4 for sure but I wouldn't have a clue which one of my 11 caused the crash unless my brain could figure out who wasn't lying on top, around, on my legs, my head....
    I am sure most of you know the feeling
