Hi there Karen! I usually do "Cat Posts" and had posted this on there previously, so you might have not seen it. My cat, Andy, one day walked on top of the clock radio and it switched on, with a loud voice coming out right underneath him!!! He tore out of the room like a streak of lightning! Don't think he could ever be taught to get near that thing again, either to shut it off or turn it on!! I am sure this would be a job for a dog!
