Hi friends! We humans have a special penchant for four legged feline companions. Cats can be excellent friends, listeners, and support systems for many a human. It's well documented that stroking a cat helps reduce human stress levels–but apparently, it has the same effect on a troop of vervet monkeys, who have adopted a couple of local strays.
This group of Ververt Monkeys living in a rehabilitation facility has also taken a liking to the local stray cats. Even after attempts to remove the cats from the enclosure, they always found their way back to their monkey friends. The love goes both ways. These monkeys are getting their zen on and these stray cats are feeling like kings and queens being given extra attention by their loving friends.
