A Precarious Situation !

Good thing he's got that ladder handy. Quite the climb, isn't it?

The cat lured him up there

Fatal attraction, the plight of the Male "Species."

what an irony, the cat of a chimney sweeper and it's pure white😸

It's a sales tactic - He shows his clients the white cat before he drops it down the chimney and when it emerges into the room below completely black (and furious) they will be impressed and book him again !

no - upon retrieving the cat, it is STILL pure, alabaster white and that's how he is showing what good of a job he's done !

Of course !
I was forgetting he would have used the brushes before the 'proof of cleanliness', that being the white cat !
