I heard a desperate meow

Cats meows have variety.  They meow differently when looking for their mate, when they are hungry, when the mother calls out to its baby, when they have caught a prey……………..the list is endless

And yes they also have a meow when they are scared or desperate.  That is the kind of meow I heard and I  searched everywhere from where that meow was coming. Finally I  spotted  Peppie right on top of the ventilator. He wanted me to bring him down. But I ignored his meow. If he could  climb up there he could jolly well know how to get down. 

And get down he did.  Cats are sure footed and he proved it.
