These creatures are the closest to humans. For example, monkeys also punish their young for misdeeds, but they continue to love just as much. Primates, like humans, can experience fear, anger, sadness and other feelings towards living creatures.

Stories in which monkeys "adopt" kittens or puppies sometimes seem to be something fantastic. However, this is a completely real fact: caring primate mothers protect their adopted children, provide them with food, hygiene and protect them from danger. There are cases when these animals have taken lion cubs and even chickens into their families.

Thus, the desire to have a furry friend next to them is characteristic not only for humans, but also for monkeys. Initially, man began to tame the animal to obtain mutually beneficial conditions: A cat catches mice, a dog guards a house, a horse transports goods. Many variants of symbiosis in nature are based on the same principle, and only monkeys can take care of other animal species just like that.

The video below tells another amazing story about the "adoption" of a little orphan by a monkey, which turns out to be a fluffy kitten. In the footage, you can see how the primate representative tries to bring a new pet to her treehouse to offer it new protection, and she doesn't mind the kitten's squeaking at all. But all attempts to pull the cat up the trunk failed, leaving the meowing animal sitting under the tree. However, the caring monkey does not give up hope and keeps trying to find a common language with kitten.
