As others have pointed out, scenes of a barking dog are also intercut in
various places.

A long time ago, someone speculated that BOB and MIKE might have been
two animals who had "cut a deal with the Devil". By going on a killing
spree, they earned the right to human forms or spirit forms. (Remember,
there was some kind of connection between the convenience store and
veterinarian Bob Lydecker's office. I think his office was supposed
to be above the convenience store, just like the "meeting place".)
Anyway, I've kind of held on to this theory ever since it was first
discussed here on alt.tv.twin-peaks, and I really found the intercut
scenes of monkeys and dogs to be proof positive the theory was correct.
Deep in my subconscious, I'm sure I've somehow connected the mysterious
actions and motivations of BOB and MIKE with the mysterious actions of
my cats.
