Help wreck the house.
What the hell, you think, this place will be destroyed before you can get back to do anything, anyway; you might as well have some fun with it. The cat has his claws which, from the sound of things, are capable enough on their own. You don't actually have a proper house wrecking tool, though. There must be something, but what?
Just start kicking and punching things. There is that hammer in the closet, right? Fire is effective to wreck things, right?
