Probably get the little puss down with music.
To get him or her down play anything by Dido or Bob Dylan's latest stuff
To depress it, just get something by the overrated Doors.
Leonard Cohen or Scott Walker will see the little fury mog fling itself into the abyss to get away.
Problem solved..
Or, for this side of the pond, perhaps a more apt selection is Billy Ray Cyrus's classic, "Achy Breaky Heart." The mullet alone is enough to send the cat over the edge.
If you're not familiar with it, please allow me to share this fantastic bit of Americana You thought Marsch was bad in terms of American imports.
Also, although Billy Ray looks a bit like Weasel (a future Halloween costume perhaps Mr. W.?), I can only imagine this is what '64's hair looked like many, many, mannnnny, moons ago

Aw, she's a beaut, glad she's safe!
They are both quite cute and have taken very well to domestic life--other than this most recent incident. But with so many trees all around us, it's bound to happen from time to time--we've just never had one of our own go so high or get stuck.

My aunty used to have a rug like that. Often wondered where it went. Wouldn't be surprised to see Nike use it as a design for the next England shirt.

Oh we're familiar with it, unfortunately.......and nothing, absolutely nothing, over rated about the Doors. Though they're no Spirit
Damn! Hate to hear that I'm not the ambassador bringing the melodic sounds of Billy Ray's twang to the European masses for the first time. If it's any consolation at all, my poor wife has been walking around humming it since I posted it last night

No consolation AT ALL, my sympathies. It's up there with Jeff Beck Hi Ho Silver Lining as a "everyones drunk at a party what shall we sing song" To paraphrase the British in the war
It's over played, over sung and over here

I'm going to need a cleanser now so this is outstanding Americana off the new wonderful Waxahatchee album. Kate Crutchfield can do no wrong
Going to have to cleanse myself from that by listening to Leonard Cohen now.
I get notified on a local neighbourhood thing about animals that go missing. Mainly dogs but occasionally cats. The latest one was interesting, a cat that has a habit of getting in to random vehicles if the owners back is turned. He’s ended up all over the place

Used to know a cat like that - big ginger Tom called Milton. He'd follow me on my walks, tagging along when I went past his house, but he also liked to get into people's cars and go to work with them.

Cats are definitely adventurous. So people just allowed the cat to get in before they went to work?
I read about the dog in America who got on a bus whilst his owner was distracted. It was a bus they used to get to the dog park. He got off at the right stop and from then on used to go on his own and became a local celebrity. In Seattle I think.

There was a bloke further up our village, went out to his car, popped back in to get something leaving his door open. Off he went on his travels, to find he had transported a squirrel with him.
He had to drive back to the village to release the squirrel in the exact same spot.
Don’t cry because you said goodbye to your pet, smile because you said hello

He was nuts
Maybe the squirrel had come with him from somewhere else and actually wanted to go back.
So the squirrel was fuming that he was now in unknown territory.
I’ll go and have a lie down I think.

Funnily enough, that’s what many in the village said, but apparently he didn’t open the door at his destination so the squirrel definitely entered the car at his house so he brought it back.

Fair enough.
You’d want to be fairly careful handling one. My dog caught one once and it left a nice scar on his snout.
