Don't forget let and const are already block scoped, so a simple alternative to your let block example is this:

let catName = 'Oswald'
let catAge = 2.5

{
    let catName = 'Luna', catAge = 2
    console.log(`${catName} (${catAge} years old)`) // Luna (2 years old)
}

console.log(`${catName} (${catAge} years old)`) // Oswald (2.5 years old)
