It’s not uncommon for different species to form connections and adopt one another. There have been cases of domestic cats adopting lynxes or squirrels, or even dogs adopting kittens as their own.
Some animals possess a strong maternal instinct that doesn’t have any boundaries.
On the other hand, there are also animals that long to be cradled and protected. This stray kitty would have been all alone if it weren’t for the monkey.
But now everything has changed for this tiny ginger cutie. He is protected and loved.
