I'm beginning to suspect that they think he's some kind of weird monkey. I was sitting in the garden last week, with Silver on my lap, when the local troop came creeping right up to me to get a better look at him! Yet they totally ignore my other cats.mainly mongoose (Lynda)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05917384766182752791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767913719381352936.post-63238492213937913422010-09-10T20:13:45.748+02:002010-09-10T20:13:45.748+02:00Oh my word!

I'...Sciencetrio,<br />I love the notion of a cartoon!<br />I'd be a bit surprised if Silver has played with them before, because he's a cautious cat, and most of the monkeys are bigger than he is.<br />Maybe young vervets are 'play junkies'; attracted to anyone that's obviously playing. I've certainly seen them romping about amid playing impala lambs.mainly mongoose (Lynda)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05917384766182752791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767913719381352936.post-5895840336763254362010-05-01T14:20:15.488+02:002010-05-01T14:20:15.488+02:00That's really neat.

This whole sequence would make a great cartoon, with the last frame showing the cat yawning cooly and replying to the monkey, "Not now, man, my old lady is watching."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
