The story of your cat Lucky reminded me of my monkey story. My monkey

has no name however. He was not my monkey even. He belonged to a man

who used to take his many monkeys around and do tricks in the

neighborhood. People and children used to gather around and watch and

then pay him coins and money.It is a short story. This is what

happened.We were living in India and I was around 5 years old or so.

This man brought his monkeys around to do a show in our neighborhood.

We gathered around. My brother who is a year younger was with me. It

all happened in front of our house. We joined the crowd to watch. The

monkeys were dressed in villagerclothes and were dancing and doing

what the monkey owner wanted them to do. It was all entertainment.All

of a sudden, I felt a strong negative vibration. I saw that one of the

monkeys was giving me a dirty look and felt he was going to attack me.

I felt this in a tangible psychic way, although there seemed to be no

reason for this as the monkey owner had the monkeys on leash and

seemed to be firmly in control of the monkeys.Within a minute, the

monkey who had given me a dirty look, started to dance as commanded

by his master. He was dancing in a circle around the crowd. As soon

as he reached near me, he broke the leash and attacked me viciously

as if I was an enemy from a past life. I shrieked in horror and

screamed wildly. The monkey clawed me and showed me his teeth. The

monkey was not happy with me. The monkey owner was shocked and got

the monkey off me. He said that this had never happened before. My

mother came running. My brother was laughing so hard he could not

stop.Well, I still remember that monkey. I think of him as my monkey.

I had bad karma with him that had to be worked out and I am glad we

did. I hope the monkey got his satisfaction.At Sri RamanaAshram,

there were many monkeys and Bhagavan used to feed them and was their

friend. Not everyone liked monkeys and I have heard that occasionally

Bhagavan's devotees would chase the monkeys away instead of giving

them food. Sri Ramana felt that monkeys should be treated withrespect

as they were at the Ashram before people got there.Anyway, the moral

of the story perhaps is, "Be nice to everyone, (even monkeys) and

give them the respect due".
