Oh, Roger, sweetie! I'm so glad you are ok.
Did you talk to my cat, Leonardo? He did something similar to that when he was a baby.
I too had come home for lunch when I heard tons of MEEEEEOOOWWWWWSSSSS coming from the kitchen. He had crawled up behind the refrigerator and got his front paw wrapped around the coils.
I couldn't get him free and I couldn't let him dangle there to call for help. (this was before cell phones).

I finally shoved him up on top of the coils hoping he could sit there until I got help. When I lifted him up, his paw came free.
I think we both lost a year off our lives that day!
