Take 2 sleep deprived adults with their own snoring issues..add in one very spoiled, very vocal 5 month old cat and you have a problem. Mr Meowington likes his breakfast served immediately at break of dawn. Oh I was warned do not feed the cat early in the morning..you will create a monster. However when you are woken up by a new baby kitten meowing ever so softly in your face because he is hungry..you oblige (right?)...months later the kitten grew..the meow got louder and now its like a fog horn of cat breath right to the face. Lesson learned. Now i search google and answer after answer says two sleep deprived adults MUST ignore the cat calls to retrain him to eat at a normal hour. Thank goodness for these earplugs! They have done their job! I passed them out to other family members too just in case the meows were loud enough to penetrate walls (oh yes they were!..should have shared them with the neighbors)..King of the castle was not happy about a delayed breakfast and he let the world know it. The earplugs muffled the sound enough that it was not irritating, and let me tell ya this cat is persistent! I also used a white noise sound machine. Two days later Cat breakfast is now served at 9am...side benefits..blocked out the husbands snoring, sleep talking and occasional screams from falling off a cliff (sleep issues) AND I did not hear the garbage truck at 6am in the morning. They don't block out noise completely, you can still hear an alarm but they muffle noise enough that it is not annoying. They are soft and spongey so when you put them in they will expand slightly to fit your ear. Hope this helps!
