Oh my gosh! I hope he comes out soon I think your dad is right, could you leave something out for him to eat that he really likes? Tuna or something? Keep us updated!
Glad he came out, but that is kind of hilarious. How did he get up there?
So he got scared and jumped over the fireplace screen and then up into the opening right above the flue. So when I looked up inside the fireplace I found a squishy kitty face staring down at me. The flue is now closed so he can't get back up there.
