Monkey has captured the hearts of animal lovers
Megan Christian is a 33-year-old resident of England. The woman is the owner of a cat named Monkey. The domestic cat is only one year old and is an actual bundle of energy. In an interview with the local portal Cornwall Live, the woman revealed that for about six months her pet has been bringing various items into the house. One of them was a winning scratch card for £10 (approximately €12):
"When she brought home the scratchcard I couldn't believe it - I was like, 'really, a winning scratchcard?' It really intrigued me. I have no idea where she gets these things from. But every time she’s back I’m like, ‘Oh wow, what has she got now?’"
Internet users love the pet
The videos in which Megan showcases the cat's findings achieve viral reach. Many internet users eagerly await new material from the pet’s owner. People are inquisitive about what she will bring back this time. Although most of the time these are practically useless items, Monkey's followers are impressed by her superpower.
