Interesting. I probably would have listed those in reverse order, Dana.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
If only you had a cat! You would never have to wonder what random noises around the house are.

You know, if you had left out choice (1), I'd be certain you were actually hoping to find an axe murderer in your closet.
( you had all sorts of a/c trauma sometime back, right?)

I'd never recognize my doom until it was too late! I've seen horror movies. People are always freaked, and then, "Oh, it's the cat," except it's NEVER THE CAT.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
With all due respect to the horror movie business, you've never met my cat.

Yeah, a couple of times. I guess I should send the husband into the attic when he gets home.

Art Crawl!!!
My cats manage to somehow create the sounds of things breaking and crashing in the other room, but then, when you go to check what the damage is -- nothing has changed.
It's a mysterious power for the befuddlement of the human.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We have a magnetic timer on the fridge. Every night, one of our cats goes up on top of the fridge and knocks it off. When she hears it land, our dog gets up and goes into the kitchen and then brings it to Jason and puts it in his hand. This is a dog who does not fetch balls or sticks or anything. Now, I think this is rehearsal for some sort of domestic animal tag team burglary ring or something, but it's so funny to watch that we haven't moved the timer to a cat-safe locale.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My fridge has the ca-THUNK-crash-rattle-rattle-hum-ing ice machine of doom. It takes just long enough that I can't make it blend into the background sounds.
If I heard something fall in my apartment, I would probably just assume I had more ice.

Or your dog is trying to tattle on your cat.
