A Little To The Right, Please

Being a cat is already pretty decadent, but a masseuse monkey takes it to a whole other level.


Couldn’t we all use a helper monkey, Brinke G.?

  1. I love how the little mcmonkerson’s so into it….and the cat’s all, what?

    awww, purrty pussy; I have a huge soft spot for black kitties & it’s heart-warming to see inter-species cosseting here ♥ ♥ ♥

    • Teresa says:

      I also have a huge soft spot for black kitties, hrhqueencat :D I hope to get one and call him or her “Puma” :D

    A Helper Monkey! You know how this ends!

  4. tracylee says:

    Not sure I’d want a monkey, but I’d love to be able to get my freeloader to make me a stinkin G&T once in awhile…

  5. victoreia says:

    Um, in the hovertext: that’s the possessive form of ‘you’. It should read “…when you’re done…”

    Signed,
    Accused spelling-nazi

    • victoreia says:

      Okay, I’ll use “spelling-police” next time, instead of “n*zi”!

      Now, about that drink…..

      • SlaveToCat says:

        When it comes to a catfusing contraction my kitty always follows a simple rule:
        When in doubt spell it out. ;P

    • Fird Birfle says:

      wow I’m not the only one who feels compelled
      to strenuously voice my grammar OCD !!!

    That ought to be weird to see on your way to work.

  7. dubyah1 says:

    Well, sir, your purriformis muscle was very tight, but now that your sacroilicat is re-aligned, you should be back to kitty-planking in no time.
    That will be two bananas.

  8. GeorgiaGirl says:

    :: Speaking of the spelling police, the hovertext could use an intervention. (It’s “you’re”)

  9. Suzeo says:

    Love it! The monkey looks very intent on doing a good job! On the other hand, could someone please change the “your” in the hovertext to “you’re”?

    This reminds me of an article from Cracked: “6 ‘Luxury’ Spa Treatments for the Extremely Rich and Insane” http://www.cracked.com/article_19793_6-luxury-spa-treatments-extremely-rich-insane.html The article mentions a place in Israel where you can get a full-body massage done by snakes for $70, and a place in Thailand where you can get a massage done by an elephant. I’m pretty sure some enterprising person could train monkeys to give massages to humans and make a profitable business.

    • Theresa says:

      Do the snakes have a union?

      • Meaghan says:

        *imagining snakes holding a rally to protest their working conditions* How would they be able to hold up their signs and chant slogans at the same time?

      • victoreia says:

        Forget the snakes! Who’d survive a massage by an elephant? (Or is it a case of the elephant swats at you with a stick or something?)

        • Meaghan says:

          If you go to the article, there’s a picture of the elephant massage. The person lies flat on its stomach and the elephant presses on the person’s back with its foot.

          Now, I know elephants can move with great delicacy, and presumably no one has died at that massage place or it wouldn’t still be operating, but I would be scared to death to just lie there and let an elephant step on me.

    • tracylee says:

      I dunno, I kinda get squealy over the idea of letting fishies nibble at the ded skin on my feet…
      but I hear that’s only legal in *certain* parts of the world… the US not being one of them…

  11. The monkey could massage the cat, and the cat could knead/massage my back! Yes, please!

  12. kar says:

    Are you sure opposable thumbs are a sign of evolutionary progress? Who’s grooming who and who’s looking smug here?

  13. Mudbug says:

    Gee, that looks familiar ! (said while making shifty eyes)
    Skulking back to cutting knots out of the fur of a long haired cat.

  14. hyura says:

    boss cat

  15. JulieB says:

    Love the single white whisker against the glossy black fur.

  16. kodalai says:

    Methinks the monkeh is searching for parasites… and finding none, cos the kitteh is just so sleek and well-groomed!

  17. Rachael says:

    I want a monkey massage! Life is so unfair. *pout*

  18. Queen of Dork says:

    I adore this! This picture is currently my background on my computer. Sorry if somebody else mentioned this (I haven’t read through all the comments) but have you peeps seen the story about the dog and owl best friends? I’ll try to find a picture to show you.

  19. sleekityin says:

    The look on the cats face is priceless. Am interpreting it as “Oh no, they have caught us on camera! This will be all over the papers by tomorrow and I had so hoped that we could break the news of our engagement to mama and papa together.”

  20. sleekityin says:

    Spot the deliberate mistake, that should be “cat’s face”.

    The very essence of the saying “Dogs have owners, cats have staff.”
