Julie,
It's not the cats I'm trying to control the blasted thing for so much as myself1  I'm getting a bit tired of having to untangle myself from my bedding and pick myself up off the floor! <G>  I finally figured out that the thing has 3 alert settings.  The one I originally had it on was "Tone" where it shrieks and hollers until I hit one of the buttons.  The other two are "Voice" and "Visual".  It says, with "Voice", the alarm sounds for 8 seconds and then the voice comes on to tell me what/where the alert is about.  But if that thing shrieks the same as it does for "Tone" I'm still going to end up in a dither, even if it is only for 8 seconds!  That can be an eternity when woken out of a sound sleep!  As for the "Visual", it doesn't say anything about an alarm.  It just says it displays text.  Well, that isn't going to do much good if I don't know it's texting!  Seems like there ought to be a way to test the thing and find out just which setting
 I would prefer.  Guess I'm going to have to break down and call the company and get some answers.
