We had a similar experience with our cat when she was a kitten. Got in the ceiling through our little maintenance closet, was quite an experience hearing our cat pacing and meowing in the ceiling, while trying to lure it back to the way it got in with taps and treats.

Interesting, I wonder if this is more stable than it is on Windows?

I find it handles controllers just fine, but I find the headset (the official Xbox one) drops out regularly. Still leaps and bounds better than Windows Bluetooth, but the drops definitely worsen the experience. Although it also did that to me on Series X.
