"Hey friends! It’s Monkey the Talking Cat. Have you ever had that funny feeling inside—like a little whisper saying,‘Go this way!’ or‘Hmm… something doesn’t feel right’? That’s called your instinct. And believe it or not… your instincts are very wise.""Last weekend, Max took us on a nature walk. He said,'Let’s explore a new trail today!' and off we went—me, Brooklyn, Teddy, and Olivff tagging along. At one point, we reached a fork in the path. Max checked the map, scratched his head, and said,'Left or right?' We were about to guess, but something inside me said,‘Right feels safer.’ I couldn’t explain why… it just did. Max thought a moment, then nodded and said,‘Let’s trust Monkey’s gut today.’ And guess what? A few minutes later, we saw a fallen tree blocking the left trail—and it would've been too hard for Olivff to climb.""That’s when I remembered something Dad once said.(He’s a teacher, so he says wise stuff all the time.) He said:‘Instincts are like your inner compass. They guide you—especially when your head feels cloudy.’ And he’s right. Your instincts are built from your experiences, your senses, and your heart. They help you feel things before you even understand them.""So next time you feel unsure… pause. Take a breath. Listen inside. Because your instincts are often pointing you in the right direction. I’m Monkey, and I believe your inner voice matters. It’s smart, brave, and just waiting to be heard. Bye for now, friends: and trust your paws!"
