"Hey there, my fur-tastic friends! Welcome back to The
Monkey the Cat Podcast! I’mMonkey, your favorite talking
cat, and today’s episode is hereto remind you of something very
important—something to rememberwhen you feel stuck, frustrated,
or ready to give up.
Our lesson today?
Every problem has at least onesolution.

(00:30):
That means no matter how tricky,tangled, or totally bananas a
problem might seem, there’salways a way forward.
You might have to thinkcreatively, ask for help, or try
a few different ideas—but asolution is out there.
And I discovered that whiletrying to rescue… a squeaky toy
from the top of the fridge.""Itall started when Teddy’s

(00:51):
favorite squeaky ball bouncedoff the hallway wall
and—boink!—landed right on topof the fridge.
Brooklyn tried jumping for it.
No luck.
Teddy barked up at it.
Still no luck.
Olivff muttered,‘You’re going toneed a ladder.
Or wings.’ I puffed out mychest.
‘Don’t worry—I’ll get it down.’I stacked boxes.

(01:12):
Slipped.
I tried climbing cabinets.
Fell off.
I even asked Max the parrot toknock it down, but he just
laughed and said,‘Too squeakyfor me!’ We were starting to
think the ball was gone forever.
But then Dad—our wiseteacher—walked by and said,

‘Remember, Monkey (01:29):
every problem has at least one solution.
You just haven’t found yoursyet.’ So we regrouped.
We stopped rushing.
We started thinking.""We made aplan:✅Olivf drew a diagram of
the kitchen.
✅Teddy pushed over a footstool.
✅Brooklyn held it steady withher nose.
✅I climbed up with a woodenspoon taped to a broom handle…

(01:51):
and plop! Down came the squeakyball! Cheers, barks, purrs, and
one very loud squeak followed.
And in that moment, I realizedsomething BIG: We didn’t give
up.
We didn’t blame the problem.
We looked for a solution untilwe found one.
Sometimes the first idea won’twork.
Or even the second.

(02:12):
But if you believe a solution isout there—and you keep
trying—you’ll find it.
Every time." What We LearnedToday🔹There’s always a way
forward—you just have to keeplooking.
🔹Problems might feel impossibleat first, but creative thinking
leads to answers.
🔹Working together helps you seemore options.

(02:33):
🔹Even when you're stuck, remindyourself:“There is a solution.
I just haven't found it yet.”"Sohere’s my challenge for YOU

today (02:40):
Take a problem you’re facing and brainstorm at least
three possible solutions.
✅Could you ask for help?
✅Could you break it into smallersteps?
✅Could you try a new angle or acreative tool(maybe even a spoon
taped to a broom)?
Because once you believe there’sa way… your brain starts finding

(03:02):
it.
