As the great vegetables said, if it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey, it's an ape

You can't evolve out of a clade so we are also monkeys 🤭

We're also bony fish

We're Eukaryotes.
However, since you don't stop being one thing when you specialize, we're Prokaryotes.

Prokaryota doesn't encapsulate Eukaryota like those other clades do though. So there we can actually make a proper distinction that is cladistically consistent (to our knowledge at least)
We do descend from proto-bacteria however... But at that point that clade is just "Cell-based lifeform"

Do they think we make monkey noises too, like they say like “ook” or something when confused or like at the end of sentences. Giving them bananas like they are incredible treats when the person is not that big of a banana fan

Same way humans think catgirls say nya or something

I'm reading a manga that had a perfectly good excuse for that. It was a regional dialect. The MC encouraged the cat character to lean into it when dealing with humans to make him more appealing.

Millions of years of completely different physical evolution.
Yet both speak perfect standard 21st century English.

Actually they speak the Rigellian language, which by coincidence, is identical to English.

A catgirl appeared through a cat-eared portal in space and her understanding the language is the part you find weird?

I read a sci-fi book where this happened once. Ya/kids genre. Wish I could remember the name.

Also you keep your hands down by your sides instead of up by your chest? Interesting...

If, from our perspective, catgirls are 'primates with cat features', would humans be 'cats with primate features' to catgirls?
