“Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!”
HA!!!!!!!
If it doesn’t have a tail it’s not a monkey it’s an ape! And that has a tail. It’s a monkey!
Makes you wonder if domestication has been around longer than we think!

Kewl!!
monkeh hz a kitteh for a petz. hope iz nice to kittehz
These monkeez are almost liek their hooman cusins… almost…
So peshus.
Whut’s he feedin kitteh tho?
That’s my fear too.. he’s so skinny, and cats are meat eaters, primates/monkeys aren’t..
Actually, most monkeys are meat eaters, including the long tailed macaque (mostly crab, shrimps and frogs, but they’ll eat other small mammals if they can catch them).
Long Tailed macagues do not eat meat that contains blood. I have 6 long tailed macaques as pets. They do not eat frogs or anything bigger than a grasshopper and certainly will not eat crab, despite there name!
I no well, teh kittehs can catch der own cheezburgers! My kittehs can has bunnyburgers, meecesburgers and birdyburgers.
All us Great Apes love kittehs, it is what makes us great.
Win and awesome.
Did u see dat last piksure ??? De kitteh looks squished…butt(!) iz carried my kittehs lik dat when I wuz a little monkee myself.
Fankies for deh choklit maroonies . I slupify em.
According to the article, the monkey didn’t approve of the camera and was trying to shield the kitty from it.
Oh I see what good primates deh are.
Fankees for clarifikayshun!!!
dont you all think it implies that sometimes animals are much more humans than the human race itself?
i do think so… *_*
I certainly agree.
No.
Dis ifone not easee. Iz ment slurpify.
that is soooo skweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeful!!!!
That is cool, but i wonder if the monkey knows what kittens eat. I hope so. The orange, it is irresistable.
Breathtaking! Thanks for sharing this sweet vignette of remarkable compassion. It’s incredible how easily animals seem to feel empathy & kindness toward one another – regardless of species! Your offering is yet another charming example of their ability to love across species.
We could learn much from our furry friends!
Thanks again,

Just read an article claiming that liking/loving/having an interest in other species is a unique human trait.
Another illusion about human’s uniqueness in the animal kingdom shattered?
There are big cats that adopt prey, usually very young animals (although it never ends well), so.. it’s not entirely human.
Koko the gorilla had a kitten named “All Ball” (she chose the name!) She was deeply saddened when he was killed by a car.
I have a whole book written on animals of different species being best friends. A dog and a lion, a bear and a kitten, etc.
Um, I’m not too sure the kitten is too fond of it after a while.
Having lately watched a ‘romantic’ episode between a monkey and an unfortunate toad, I’m thinking this isn’t as ‘sweet and precious’ as it looks, and, it looks like that cat would really, really, really like to get away!
I am worried about Kitty. I am not sure this is a good arrangement. It is obvious the monkey loves him and wants to care for him like a baby but it worries me for poor kitty.
aww…. (has gawt no wurds to sai)
Awz! Hao cyoot!
I think the cat is very ill – its ears are full of mites, it is very thin, and it looks lethargic. This is not as sweet as we would like to imagine.
At least better than left strayed alone
Chances are that its a stray. Most stray cats have all of those problems, so you can’t say its the monkey doing it to the kitten. Even if it were on its own it would be in that situation. At least in this case it has a kind of guardian watching out for it.
For crying out, the cat is outside and IT’S a CAT. It can and will get away when it feels it’s necessary. Ever tried to make a cat eat something it didn’t want to eat or hold one that doesn’t want to be held? No ape is going to accomplish any more than you. Granted it’s not going to take care of a kitten like we do (well, like most of us hopefully do), but it certainly isn’t giving him mites. Kitty is probably gaining more from the love (or warmth) of the ape than it would by itself, and as soon as the cat wants away, or to hunt for something meaty, it will.
I know the cat is a stray, and I DID NOT say the monkey gave ear mites to the kitten *sign* (please read). I have seen sick and unhealthy kittens full of fleas that are anemic and completely lethargic, and it is a consequence of living outdoors.
I mean to say that we should take off our rose-coloured glasses and see the image as it is, and the image provokes sadness in me, not joy.
Humans are notorious for projecting cutesy feelings onto animal situations. We need to realize we may not know what is truly going on.

Thank you for saying this, I was getting annoyed with all the mindless ‘so cuuuute’ comments, I found it sad too. That cat is obviously in a bad situation with no human to take care of it. People seem to think a cat can live outdoors just fine and ‘chatch it’s own cheeseburger’ *rollseyes* but that is not true. They barely scrape by and are most often diseased, they are domesticated after all and not wild cats, they aren’t as well equipped to take care of themselves. Plus that cat is very young and the monkey isn’t going to feed it anything.
It’s Rafiki and Simba!
shoooo cuuuttteee!!
Does anyone really think this kitten looks happy???
I live in Bali!
A mother’s love knows no bounds
NO EXCEPTIONS
The cat doesn’t look happy. It looks like it’s trying to get away. . .
After reading a bit more about the area & situation, i am glad the kitten got some hugs, regardless of how permanent the care was.
Maybe the kitten isn’t looking very happy but she can get away anytime from there so why is there in the pic together with the monkeys? Because the kitten wants so,lol.No cat will ever remain in a place where she’s not feeling well.
These monkeys are actually jerks (to tourists). They will steal from you and attack you. Just be careful when you visit Bali and stay away from these monkeys.
Maybe kitteh is fraid of camera too? he looks scared.
That so-called “faborit” comment is bogus! Kittehs luv to be luved! Sweetness of flukes of nachur trump grumpy. Even if hooman finks monkees r unplezant.
Frankly, I don’t think these pictures are particularly cute. I am sure the monkey is very loving, but that’s a cat, not a little monkey, and it’s not getting adequate care. The animal does not look good and responsible authorities should get the kitten away from the monkey and put it in a shelter. With the media coverage this has gotten I am sure humans capable of taking care of a kitten would rush to adopt it.
I agree.
You said it better than I did, thank you.
The story I read said that when humans tried to “rescue” the kitty, it returned to the monkey. Cats notoriously have mids of their own.
anybody else see jackass? macaque likes kittens.
kitteh doesn’t look very healthy, does he?
i can’t believe that so many ppl find this cute or funny. kitteh is trying to escape, but is too weak and exausted. (it’s not a kitteh in fact, it’s almost adult cat. look at his proportions..) . And when it comes to “mother’s love”..come on..it’s just an animal instinct.
People should have helped poor kitteh ;_;
i live at indonesia but… i don’t live at bali, i live at jakarta
Well, at least the monkey knows that butt support is one of the most important things cats need! As seen in pic 4.
He sure does love his pet kitten.
