Every so often, someone hauls out this old clip of a monkey washing a cat:
It is an exciting clip. I started to wonder where it came from. Some newsreel? A home movie?
I've been trying to find that out. The problem is that searching for it has it's own barrier - the only terms that I can use to search are "monkey," "washing," and "cat." Searching for "monkey," "washing," and "cat" brings a whole lot of people doing the same thing that I just did a couple of sentences ago: posting the clip and saying "Look! A monkey washing a cat!"
The best I can find is this site - the cleverly titled MonkeyWashingCat.com. It doesn't have more information about the identity of the Monkey or the Cat, but it does have the largest amount of footage. You can watch the monkey pick up the cat!
Some day I will know more.
