If your gearbox is a prm/hydraulic type,a low oil level can cause this.We have a small leak on ours,and generally reverse is the first one to go!There is what looks like a nut on top of the gearbox casing.If you take it out,it may or not have a short dipstick on it.You can fill it here.Most can be topped up with ordinary engine oil,but its worth checking first.
Your cat up a tree got me thinking back to when we first moved onto the canal.We took 3 cats and a dog with us,and the first time we turned the boat around,mooring up the other way round,our dog having just got used to jumping out of the left side of the boat,ran out and did the same again.She gracefully flew through the air,landing squarely in the middle of the cut!On another occasion one of the cats decided that it would be far easier to go for a dump in the kitchen,than to venture into the great outdoors.My wife then hurled the cat out of the side hatch into the garden,saying do it out there....we had turned around the night before...wet cat.
Sorry to hear about the kitten,i hope they find them.
