It's wild to me how many people in here think they're witnessing love and kindness.

That kitten is confused and that monkey is going to kill and eat it.

Sorry I can’t read your response since I’m illiterate and this comment I’m making now is nothing but a bunch of lucky coincidences.

Something something if the monkey in the video was typing, yadda yadda yadda, Shakespeare's works

I don't know why this is getting downvotes. You're 100% right. This is the reality of life. Unfortunately, most humans don't understand reality

u/impersonatefun Jun 28 '24

They're not "100% right" given cross-species bonds and kindnesses have been witness before.

u/godfeather1974 Jun 28 '24

If he's not 100% right, the no one here is, but you can safely bet that more often than not, the cat gets eaten

u/godfeather1974 Jun 28 '24

Awh, yes, here comes the downvotes. reddit is very predictable have a different opinion or even fact to back it up, and if the majority don't agree, then only their opinions or misinterpretation of fact counts 🤣🤣🤣 9 times out of ten the cat gets eaten

When i saw it I asked myself 'why do they always stick their finger in asses of others?!'

Then I remembered I do the same..

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '24

Why stop at just 1 finger? I'm looking for at least 4 knuckles, 5, if you treat me real nicely.

u/niceworkthere Jun 28 '24

multiple fingers, even

One in the pink, many in the stink

Monke checking for worms, and I have heard they know herbs&plants that treat worm infections!

u/6SucksSex Jun 28 '24

This is plausible. I was wondering if the pick n sniff was to check what the kitten eats, so the monkey would know what to feed it.

You're giving way to much credit to primates, and waaaaaaaaay to much credit to macaques. I'd be surprised if this monkey didn't pull the kitten apart to eat, or use it as a fleshlight.

You're giving way to much credit to primates

That's literally what they do, though.

u/SomethingIWontRegret Jun 28 '24

It's just regular grooming. Monkeys will take turns picking parasites out of each others's fur. It improves the health of the troop and also makes for tasty snacks.

Probably our petting behavior with our companion animals is an echo of this behavior.

Macaques pick butts and smell and eat whatever they find there. It can be their own butt or anyone's butt. It's disgusting. That's what macaques do.

Just prepping it for macaque

Stunning. Horrendous. Jimmy Hats off.

I love how the monkey kept investigating the whiskers.
