Probably because their loud and high pitched?. Mine are the same, so i may put them up in the bedroom on sunday for a couple of hours until the little gremlins have been.

I wish i could turn mine down but i can't because it even makes me jump!

Aya is scared of strangers. She seems to distinguish betwen me coming home (She'll often be waiting on top of the refrigerator by the door) and the doorbell ringing which means a stranger is comng and she runs and hides under the bed, only to re-emerge cautiously after they are gone.

They can learn to associate sounds very quickly. Mine can tell which cabinet door I'm opening and if it's the one with their food in it... from the other end of the house.

Let the kitties hide if they need to. Be glad that they do. I have a couple that won't when the doorbell rings and the door is opened. And while one of them does not want outside, I don't trust the other one.

Nora can hear when I open a container of yogurt all the way from across the house, and she comes RUNNING! LOL She's one smart cookie.

Same here! LOL I was once watching a youtube video of someone ringing a doorbell and Nora ran to our front door, all excited that someone was here (even though she hates it when strange people come in our house). It was really cute!
