My Siamese cat did this to my neighbor in Houston. He would jump down the chimney and sit on a ledge and yowl. Finally he would free himself by jumping rest of the way down the chimney and walking across the white carpet, leaving sooty foot prints. My neighbor was not amused.
Once there was a Siamese Cat
Whose coat was black as soot.
And everywhere that kitty went
His sooty foot he put!
