- 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.

Everyone..needs a cat to love 🐒🐈
Indeed! ♥️🐈
every monkey needs a cat to love
I hope they care for the cats too (i.e. feed & spay).🙏🏼💜
I dunno about these monkeys, but there are monkeys in India, or somewhere in that area, that kidnap puppies and pull them around by there tails. They feed the puppies and they grow up with the monkeys. Then the dogs protect the monkeys.
Why wouldn't they?? Also no need to spay a cat
Hundreds of thousands of healthy animals are euthanized is shelters every year. We absolutely need to spay and neuter.
Nothing is as calming to me as a cat's purr. It's my anxiety and stress reliever.
👍🌻💙💛
I love Vervets. Its why I sub to Vervet Foundation and this Smithsonian channel.
Vervets & Flying Foxes...they pull me in every time.😊🙏🏼💛
I love them too! Also gibbons :3
Yeah a monkey has never been woken by a cat to be fed an hour before their alarm clock was scheduled to go off.
Lol....right? Or ignores you all day until you sit down to finish that work project and they want to be on your keyboard looking for attention
Not true..you've just admitted to it
@@Trollstarz You have no idea whatsoever.
The cats think the monkeys are weird cats and the monkeys think the cats are weird monkeys. lol
That is so cute! They chose each other!
Why would cats choose a enclosure instead of stay outside of it? It could be that the monkeys don't scare them as much as the world outside of it. The enclosure would keep out other rural cats that would be rivals and also other dangers to the cats, such as other animals that would prey on them.
Nothing like a sweet video to change my attitude for the day! Fascinating and fun.
Totally agree! Watching animal videos like this or The Dodo channel keeps me in amazing spirits.
We all know that women won't stay happy
Wow! Yet deeper and further lessons that animals will teach us about how they can treat others.
I would love to have these kittys
The difference being that human's don't regard cats as ectoparasite sources.
Cats really did domesticate themselves
So interesting! What a cool symbiotic relationship!
CUE sent you here too? Congrats on your new Limited Legendary.
So cats are used in human and monkey old age homes?? That’s amazing. They even allow some prisoners to have pet cats if they have good behavior. Saw a doc on death row inmates and one hat a cat he got from the prison program he was able to raise from a kitten. Nice they can have some companionship while they wait, especially if they’re being good inmates.
Absolutely Beautiful Story
This deserves more upvotes 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
cats are better than mankind for sure. cheers meows :)
Stroking their cats :)
Well I could have watched a whole hour of that!!!!!
This video made me smile,,! The animal kingdoms is simply beautiful! Oh, and ADORABLE,,,,,
That's so beautiful. ❤❤❤
Wow! 👏👏😊
I had the honor of working with vervret monkeys and they always weirded me out because they are very quiet. They don't make a lot of noises or lip smacking like cynos do, at least not in the setting I was in.
It was always an odd change after being in a area full of screaming hollowering monkeys.
The monkeys must be gentle or the cats wouldn't be so trusting. Heartwarming old guys.
Amazing lol
Amazing 😄
The Egyptians were wrong about the ‘afterlife’ but they were spot on about cats.
How can we be so sure they were wrong about the afterlife? How can we be sure about anything unless we were there to witness it?
@@ThemePro24 All religions seem to have many common threads, so much so one would be inclined to think that they came from the same extremely ancient story predating any known "religion". Am fairly certain that there are those who know the real his story.
Oh wow! Have you died and come back to tell us what happens when we die? No? Then shut
it.
@@SpiritGirlSF I like the way you said that in that it came from an ancient story and I also believe that as well. There's a book called Species with Amnesia . I never read it but I'm inclined to do so in the future but I wonder if that book touches on what you said. 🤷🏽♂️
@@geemanbmw Graham Hancock's book? Haven't read it yet but have seen many of his lectures and interviews on YT. There are so many channels that explore us as a species with amnesia, many "re-sets" of humanity some more recent than we'd think. Do you know about the Cosmic Clock aka Cosmic Catastrophe Cycles? Well worth looking into.
I'm proudly Year of the Monkey -- 1968!
Good story.
I love it :)
What a beautiful cats. It seems one has curly-ish hair.
Did she just say 12 Monkeys 😮😏
It's not surprising with a name like Rambo!?🐒
And cats probably see them as deformed humans. Surely they’re smart enough to notice the similarities.
Thank you very much. Amen !!! Philadelphia USA
I to get excited taking my gummy prenatal vitamins as well. So what.
😘😍😍😍
I thought it said Velvet
🐱🐵
shame humans cant be as nice !!
Saying a cat is Feral? As you watch it grow from a kitten and have photo's of it on your property. Your responsibility. Give them Veterinarian care like you would the monkey's.
Umm. The cat's are in bad condition. They're your cat's now. Why not treat them when you supposedly removed them over and over. Kind of like whatever happens to cats happens. But the monkey's are in healthy and good condition.
Shut up those cats look fine,
Good thing they arent baboons cause those adult males are known to kidnap and eat baby impalas
"Amazing animal friends". You implying human beings aren't animal's?
No...were "human"...technically animals but only the worst of animals
@@weirdshibainu Literally animals by taxonomic definition.
A multi-cellular eucariotic organism with an internal digestive tract that has to ingest and digest other organisms to survive, which is exactly what we are.
More specifically we're a species of great ape.
@@aarons6935 I get the definition. Not a species of the great ape. A bio experiment gone wrong a million years ago and shunted to Earth by ancient aliens that should have exterminated us. If you want a definition of humans, Jon Voight said it best in the 1985 movie "Runaway Train." After beating his best friend, a woman called him an animal. He said " no, I'm worse, I'm human."
@@weirdshibainu You're trolling at this point right?
@@aarons6935 Nope
ANY HUMAN THAT CAN NOT RAISE A MONKEY Has no business having a baby that is human. Monkeys are much easier to deal with.
If you're going to play very annoying, unneeded and unwanted, music, you need to add subtitles.
I am so sick of English and American people talking about how monkeys do not make good pets. They say that because they don’t have monkeys in their region since they’ve run them all out or killed them all. Asians and Africans have had monkeys as pets for thousands of years. We feel they make good pets. My grandparents had monkeys, my neighbors grandparents had monkeys. My cousin has monkeys now. It is a tradition of Asians to have monkeys. It’s traditional for African people to also have monkeys
I don't believe there was ever any monkeys native to Britain or the United States.
We don’t all feel the same way about cats, plenty of people I know hate them. And I’m sure plenty of vervets would pick on a small cat for laughs.
The cats are just scared. Nowhere to run.
They were scared, and they did run. Through a drainage pipe. Where they found protection and were adopted. Now grown, they seem to have plenty of space; cats are more concerned about vertical space, and space designed monkeys fits well.
Make them scared before realeasing them. It would be better for them.
@@teathpaste3301 I think he meant scare the cats so they wouldn't see the monkey enclosure as a safe space. He thinks it would be better for the cats not be in the monkey enclousre.
Still I agree with you, that would be traumatizing...to both cats and the monkeys who see the cats a source of calm.
In Australia domestic cats decimate the native wildlife EVERY night, I hate cats.
@@speakupriseup4549 😖 How strange of those cats to have navigated their way to Australia all by themselves . . . NOT! Save your anger for the people who brought cats to Australia and elsewhere. Any thoughts about cane toads . . . ? Camels?
@@sirmeowthelibrarycat that is ridiculous, the people who brought those horrible species to Australia are dead, the cats, cane toads, rabbits, foxes, etc etc etc, are still alive and destroying the environment and native animals, what sort of person would prefer to see unique species wiped out because of lazy pet owners?
@@teathpaste3301 there are estimated over 6 MILLION feral cats in Australia which are wiping out rare native species found nowhere else ON EARTH, these cats got released or escaped into the bush purely because of selfish cat owners. Even with all the evidence of the devastating impact their cats have on the Australian environment cat owners STILL let their cats roam, breeding and killing every day. I hate when any species has been introduced and allowed to destroy the natural Australian environment and cats are one of the most destructive of all.
I hate cats
So is it our grooming instinct that causes humans to pet animals
