While some of us are terrified of monkeys, a new video making the rounds is bound to change your perception of them.

A wild monkey has been caught on video walking on a narrow ledge 'kidnapping' a kitten with its bare hands. It then proceeds to sit down and look around, all while holding the kitten close to its chest. Cute!

The video was shared by Facebook user Romy Shah, and it received over 3-million views at the time of writing. 

Watch the 'kidnapping' attempt below:

Before you start thinking that the monkey was going to harm the kitten, all it just wanted to do was to take care of its new, precious possession. 

In another video, you see the monkey gently cleaning the kitten, even picking out insects and bugs from its little body. 

This is too adorable for words
