Part Three: Why Cats Wear Monkey Pants

I've saved the best for last. I have proof of the evolution of monkey pants. The missing link. The sweet truth.







When hurricane Hannah separated two white tigers from their mother,
Anjana came to the Rescue. Anjana, a chimp at TIGERS in South Carolina ,
became surrogate mom and playmate to the cubs, even helping with bottle
feeding, according to The Sun. But here's the truly amazing part:
Anjana does this all the time, having raised a leopard, and lion cubs.

And this is why cats wear monkey pants. They were raised that way.
Simple as that....

  1. Those photos are just way too cute! When I was a child, I swore I'd get my own baby lion or tiger when I grew up... Thank God I got smarter! I love cats, but now I prefer to own the compact version.

    Gotta go get me a pair of those monkey pants...

  7. This post reminded me of the elephant and her best friend Bella the dog. Stories like these about animals should be an inspiration for humans. If they can get past instinct to compassion, shouldn't we all be able to?
    Where did you get these pictures??
    I need them, I need them!
    Peace...Lisa
