Neighbours had a mini stepladder but it wasn't high enough, we tried a plank of wood with some food on it too. Poor thing kept moving out of reach. Looks like it has got itself down now... My post was really in case someone was missing their cat so they could be reunited, but thanks for the advice. And I should have apologised in my first post for littering this forum with yet another cat post! Edited to say: EDF does have some curious rules - not sure why this has been lounged?! I guess i should have posted in the wanted/lost section.
