This is one area where voice assistants have been a big help for me, since "wake me up at six tomorrow" seems to get consistently interpreted correctly vs relying on me noticing the am/pm toggle. Glad you made your flight!

This might seem absolutely ridiculous but I wonder if you could get someone to modify an invisible fence shock collar to make a loud noise instead of an electric shock

That's a good question, and the answer is probably with some research and trial and error. And you have until the end of January to return them to Amazon if not!

9210s are my second choice, but the "duck bill" 9105 is an order of magnitude more breathable (though the rubber band straps aren't ideal).

3M 9105 hands down. Very goofy looking but comfy and very very breathable. 9105s is also available for smaller faces.

Some definitely are. And they usually have a limit, which is different for each cat - and you'll definitely know when they're either overstimulated or actually pissed off.
