Side note: the boiling frog analogy is actually false, when the frog gets hot it will jump out of the water regardless of how slowly you increase the temperature once it hits a critical heat threshold. Also in the original experiment they had removed the frogs brain (because science?).

It is true in human psychology though -- humans will not notice small enough changes. Like when my cat slowly creeps onto my lap and I don't notice her.

Every damned time. Replace 'lap' with 'counter' and 'notice her' with 'stop her from knocking something off' #ragdoll

I've trained my cats to not go on the counter, which means 15 minutes after I go to bed I hear a cat jump down off of it.
