Was like the god damn scene from poltergeist where you could hear it all over the house but didn't know where exactly the meows orginated from echoing through the ductwork.

I forgot how I coaxed it to an exit, but I do recall grabbing it by the scruff and yanking it out as the cat tried to scamper back in. Went to go clean-up my scratches and the damn thing knocked over what I blocked the vent with and squeezed back in.

At that point I was tempted to just turn on the furnace heat and call it a day. But didn't want to deal with the stink.

Should have put a second cat in there to chase the first one out

Nah, just grease up a Scotsman.

That's the beauty of it. When wintertime rolls around the Scotsman in the walls simply freezes to death.

We had a similar experience with our cat when she was a kitten. Got in the ceiling through our little maintenance closet, was quite an experience hearing our cat pacing and meowing in the ceiling, while trying to lure it back to the way it got in with taps and treats.

just open a can of wet food and the cat will crawl to you like solid snake

I wonder if AC would work. Make the cat so uncomfortable it would want to leave

I'm sorry I'm imagining my big orange dummy doing this and I can't stop giggling
