Monkey Ella Steals a Poor Kitten to Care?
In a strange and surprising scene that caught the attention of many, a young monkey named Ella was seen grabbing a small, helpless kitten and running away with it into the jungle. At first, onlookers thought it was an act of aggression. But what followed was both touching and puzzling—Ella didn’t harm the kitten. Instead, she cradled it gently, groomed its fur, and even tried to share her food.
Ella is a known female macaque who lost her own baby weeks ago. Since that heartbreaking moment, she has been acting differently, often clinging to rocks or leaves as if mourning. It seems that when she saw the tiny, abandoned kitten nearby, her maternal instincts kicked in. She treated the kitten as her own, even protecting it from other monkeys.
The kitten, weak and meowing, didn’t resist much. It allowed Ella to carry it around, snuggling close to her chest as if sensing safety. Though the bond is strange and unnatural, the connection between the two animals is deeply emotional. Some villagers were worried that Ella might accidentally hurt the kitten, but so far, she’s shown only care and love.
This unusual relationship has sparked many conversations online. Is this just a confused monkey, or is Ella truly trying to care for a creature she believes needs a mother? Animal experts say it’s not uncommon for grieving primates to adopt objects—or even animals—as a form of comfort.
Whatever the reason, Ella and the kitten now walk side by side, a symbol of strange but beautiful affection. Nature never fails to surprise us, and this bond between species is a reminder that even the wildest hearts can be filled with love.
