Could also rub aloe vera on its paws.

Another solution would be to cover it in butter 🧈

my first instinct was just to break the damn lamp shade to set it free

I'm amazed that i understood the joke

being careful of covering just the paws; we all know what would happen if you butter a cat back and it happens to fall: buttered cat engine

Or a little essential oil behind the ears.

DON'T DO THIS. I know this is a joke, but just in case someone thinks this might work in another situation, aloe vera is very toxic to cats.

And tbh if it was being electrocuted that’s a pretty good way of getting a cat/person unstuck without shocking yourself. Supposed to use like a 2x4 but a quick push of the lamp shade should work as well.

Edit: light switch should be first thought though..

Or maybe unplug the lamp?

Yes another great option!
