Open 24/7 for emergencies
The joke: the dust in the duct starts moving, and it's a gray long-haired cat peering out of an open ceiling duct. The real part: open ducts are an easy place for a curious pet to explore.

A round duct opening in a ceiling, its seam wrapped in silver foil tape, and a gray long-haired cat looking straight down out of it. The on-screen line plays it like a horror movie: something ain't right. Nobody's working in this shot. It's seven seconds of a cat in an air duct that found the best hiding spot in the house.
That foil tape matters, by the way. Real foil tape is what seals a round duct joint so conditioned air stays inside the run. The cloth kind sold as duct tape dries out and lets go on ductwork, which is why techs reach for foil.
Turn the system off so the fan isn't pulling air, then pull the nearest register and call her with a treat. Most cats come back out the way they went in. If she's stuck in a long run, don't cut into the duct yourself. A tech can open it at a joint and reseal it with foil tape.
