A photo album of cats and a monkey carrying bag

I need a gift for a recent girlfriend. Among things I've not looked at for a long time is a photo album open to the first page. I decide this will be a good gift. There are black and white pictures of cats including what I think was my only cat, but it's not because it's an all black cat. I try to remember the cats in the pictures because I know the album is of pictures I've taken of my own pets.

Pictures of cats in front of parallel mirrors reflecting off into infinity are on the next page. As I turn the page, the angle between the mirrors changes. I'm really impressed with the photos and am surprised I still want to give it as a gift. On the next page is a picture, still black and white, of a pet monkey in a childhood bedroom. I';m trying to remember if I ever had a pet monkey, but can't remember any of the animals in the pictures. When I look at the picture from a different ankle, I see a monkey shaped monkey carrying bag hanging on the wall over my bed.
