Rant: Thought those pricier motion sensors were a gimmick until a job in Tucson

I always used the cheap basic motion sensors on installs. Then a customer's cat kept triggering false alarms at 3 AM for two weeks straight. Swapped in a pet-immune model for $45 more and the problem vanished overnight. Anyone else had a stubborn sensor that made you eat your words?

Wait, you're telling me a cat was setting off a motion sensor? Like a regular house cat? I've never had that happen with the cheap ones, but now I'm wondering if those critters are more nimble than I thought. Must have been a pretty persistent feline to keep triggering it for two weeks before you swapped it out.

Yeah @blairm77 cats are just that light on their feet... gotta respect the stealth skills honestly.

Oh please, it's just a cat, not that big of a deal.
