I've heard at one time in Asia crickets were prized as pets and watch dogs too.
They were kept in little cages made of split bamboo.
Where many dogs are like door bells and bark to let you know someone is near - a happy cricket can chirp all the time but will stop when someone or something comes near.
I have always loved their chirping and have caught a few but refuse to cage anything.
And my wife has always refused to let me keep one.
Confucius said, "Happy wife~happy life!"
