My cat knocks over something?

About 10 years ago we rented a house that didn't have ceiling lights in the rooms, but in each room a light switch controlled the power to the nearest electrical plug. We bought lamps for all of the rooms, but turning off the bedroom lamp was awkward because the switch was in a corner of the room.
We bought a clapper and it worked pretty well until Spring came around and I started getting allergic reactions to pollen. We were watching TV one night when I started sneezing. I sneezed 5 times and The Clapper turned OFF the lamp, turned ON the lamp, turned OFF the lamp, turned ON the lamp, turned OFF the lamp!
DH and I were laughing so hard we were almost crying then our dog barked and The Clapper turned the lamp ON.
I unplugged The Clapper and put it back in the box.
