Today, there's a cricket in my apartment. I don't know if I'm more annoyed by the fact that it somehow got up three flights of stairs to get here, or that my cat is so excited about it that he's jumping on me and howling in my face to announce the cricket's presence instead of killing it. FML

Just so you guys know, I have a whole lot of furniture. I'm pretty sure the cricket was hiding under one of the pieces of furniture, but every time I got near my couch, ottoman, armchair, side table, or bookcase, it stopped chirping. It was pretty hard to tell where it was coming from!

OP, I suggest you burn your house down and shoot the cricket when it tries to escape the flames.

My cat finally killed it when the novelty of it wore off. He was really funny running around and crying, though.

Crickets can climb. Not surprising if it made it up 3 flights.
