the incoming call was from another cat down the street. He was seeking to recruit local cats to assist him in acquiring a half-open tin can spotted on a window sill. He cannot do it alone, so he is forced to resort to cold calling.

I'm pretty sure the Irish have folktales about this kind of thing.

Meow ask who's calling?

"Cat, this is Dog. Are you there? Hello? Hello? Cat? This is Dog. Hello?"

"Yes? Oh yes. The humans suspect nothing...so far."

There. That's better.
