It was a funny and slightly chaotic scene in the house this morning. Big brother monkey Pavpav had decided it was time for grooming—and his target? The smallest and squirmiest baby in the family, Toto.
Toto had just finished playing with his toy ball when Pavpav suddenly appeared, full of grooming energy. Without warning, he grabbed little Toto by the leg and gently dragged him upside down across the soft floor!
Toto squeaked in surprise, legs flailing and arms reaching for something to hold. “Eeek! What’s happening?!” his expression seemed to scream. But Pavpav wasn’t hurting him—he just had a very unique way of showing care.
Once they reached the corner of the room, Pavpav plopped Toto on his belly and got right to work—picking through his fur, straightening his tail, and gently nibbling around his neck and back, just like monkeys do in the wild.
Toto wriggled, unsure if he should laugh or run away. But soon, he realized this wasn’t so bad. Pavpav’s grooming was oddly relaxing… and kind of sweet. His big brother was just trying to help him stay clean and cared for in his own goofy way.
The human family watched, half laughing and half amazed, as the two monkeys bonded in their silly, natural rhythm. By the end of the session, Toto looked cleaner—and maybe a little more loved, even if he’d been dragged across the floor to get there.
That’s monkey love for you: messy, wild, but full of heart. 🐒💕
