A story between my dad and his cat in his younger years

For a little background, my dad always loved cats, and he would always let them in and have them sleep next to him. According to him, he slept with tens of cats surrounding him on many nights, and that was no secret from my dad's family.

He had a cat that would always climb on his shoulder whenever possible, and just sit there. This fact was confirmed to my by my uncles and aunts, and my dad's old neighbor when I spoke with her one time, so he was always known for his love and even expertise in cats.

One night, according to my dad, a kitten was stuck on top of a lamp post and was making so much noise, in the middle of the night. The people of the small neighborhood woke up to the kitten's screams, then tried to rescue her so they can go back to sleep in peace. They tried, but they couldn't, and they quickly ran out of ways to get that kitten down.

Growing tired, they decided to call for my dad, thinking he could solve the problem. My dad showed up, with his cat on his shoulder, and he was told of the situation.

My dad looked at the kitten, then told his cat "tell her to get down.". His cat meowed, the kitten meowed, then climbed down herself from the lamp post.

To this day, I find it hard to believe this story, but I do solely for the reason that my dad lived a wild life with some things that I have no idea how one could ever be part of. It's just a part of my dad's lore.

If anyone else told me this story, I would never believe them no matter how hard they try to convince me.
