Cats are obviously so adorable as babies because kittens are MAGNIFICENTLY DUMB and require lots of supervision from older animals with high enough brain function to be vulnerable to "SOCUTE!" There is nothing between their kitten ears but fluff and sugar-rush. I've had mostly adolescent-to-older cats because the couple of times we kept kittens, they were painfully cute, but we spent half the time herding them away from the Big Red Button labeled "PUSH HERE TO DIE."

One of my life goals is nonetheless to have a box of kittens poured on me, thus. It would be an excellent singing-telegram alternative to a bouquet of roses.
