only knocks allowed

Ever since my cat's operation, I have dismantled the doorbell and not bothered yet to plug it back in because doorbells are annoying. Even though mine is a sonorous tinkle of a sweet ting tong it gives me anxiety, moreover and here is the real reason, kids like to lean on it with all their weight and they jab it so fast and furiously that the sonorous tilt turns into a grave squawk and it makes me want to murder little kids, a sentiment we don't want hanging around our heads and so there is no doorbell ringing inside my house.

When my cat was in recuperative phase which was a painful time for my cat and a long week of unbearable guilt for me, the doorbell literally had me jumping off my seat and often broke the repose my darling kitten found herself in, she would skitter under the couch because she felt unsafe and that was the last straw.
My naughty little furball of mischief who is by far the friendliest and most curious of felines I have ever met broke my heart every time she scurried away, afraid of anything that stood outside ringing the doorbell and that in turn broke my heart. I almost wanted to shout at anyone who rang the bell and that isn't the right thing to do which is why it's week three without the bell and I miss it not in the least.
