On one wall sat Tikka, a sleek ginger cat known in the area for her quick reflexes and sassy attitude. Tikka ruled her territory — she chased away rats, defended her favorite spots from other cats, and even stole bits of fish from the vendor when no one was watching.
But that day, a new creature entered her world: a bold, teenage monkey named Kalu.
Kalu had recently left his troop and was testing his luck near human settlements. Fast, clever, and a little too confident, he was always looking for something exciting — or something to steal. As Kalu swung down from a tree and landed near the stall, he spotted a fish tail sticking out of a plastic plate on the ground. He went for it.
So did Tikka.
The two locked eyes at the same moment — predator meets trickster.
Tikka hissed, her fur puffed up like a feather duster. She lowered her body, tail twitching, ready to pounce.
Kalu wasn’t impressed. He bared his teeth and gave a sharp monkey bark, smacking the ground with one hand. But Tikka didn’t back down. She darted forward and swatted Kalu on the cheek. A clean hit.
For a second, everything went silent.
Then chaos broke loose.
Kalu lunged forward, grabbing for the fish with one hand and pushing the cat with the other. Tikka leapt into the air, spinning and landing on the monkey’s back before quickly jumping off again. She gave another angry hiss and launched her second attack — this time aiming for Kalu’s tail.
Kalu screamed, jumping backward and nearly tumbling over a crate. Furious, he turned and swiped at the cat with both hands — one of his hits catching her on the side. Tikka yowled, but didn’t retreat. She crouched, ready for more.
Just then, a human voice shouted from the food stall. A man came running, swinging a broom wildly. Kalu made a fast escape, leaping up onto a tin roof and disappearing into the trees.
Tikka, breathing heavily, limped slightly but held her ground. She walked over to the fish, now splattered and broken, sniffed it, and sat down beside it. Victorious or not, she had defended her turf.
And from the nearby rooftop, Kalu watched with narrowed eyes. This wasn’t over — not by a long shot.
Someone nearby had caught the whole scene on a phone. The video was uploaded the same day — titled “Cat vs. Monkey: Cat Attacked By Monkey In Real Fight | New Video 2015” — and quickly went viral.
