I agree with everything you said up until the last sentence; I don't see how MonKENy is any more suspicious because of that. I do agree that the werewolf is more likely to take a leap and vote for someone other than highland, however.
EDIT: But maybe I'm putting too much weight on the gameshow concept where changing ones vote is beneficial after a door is revealed. It did take me longer than I'd like to admit to understand the logic, but now it seems that MonKENy is being voted against because he was the second shot in the dark the first day. If this is random, I'd much rather vote for someone else. Right now I'm leaning towards Chiropteran and you since he defended you, but could also go for JujuFish since his defense of highland's questioning wasn't the strongest and since he called MonKENy "particularly suspicious" when he doesn't seem to be. Or maybe dustb0wlkid since he always plays so close to the chest.
So basically I'm just going to take a wild stab.
