For some reason, this video makes me think of Math Is Hard.

Beware, this video has an extreme cuteness factor! :approve: The kitten is a Scottish Fold.

Oh that was so so cute! I miss having little baby kitties, we always had at least 2 litters a year, it would keep my sister and I occupied for an entire summer haha. I turned the speakers up and now my cat is looking around trying to figure out where that mewing is coming from.
 
Little kittens are SO CUTE! And they're so much fun to play with. There's nothing like having a kitten in the house. <sigh>
 
We need the kitty equivalent of Perma Puppy.

What would we call it; Keeper Kitten?

Oddly enough, the kitten in the video is named Shoes are Hard. :biggrin:

I just love them. :!)
I have been playing with fire again. I went down to the pet food store last week on kitty adoption day. Lots of cuties! They also had some really cool bunny rabbits which were surprisingly friendly.

But you can change the words to "puppycake" and sing it to Ricco. :smile:

Baby Squirrel's First Cheerio I didn't realize eating a cheerio was such hard work, but then it probably is if one's mouth is the size of a cheerio. :-p The other squirrel hasn't been taught manners yet. :biggrin:

Nope, just saw the Cheerios clip, and then watched another squirrel clip about one not hiding its Cheerio very well.

When I was a kid, we used to have squirrels visit us that were really sweet and we could hand feed (except for my grandfather, who managed to get bitten...by the squirrel with his name no less :smile:), and one, appropriately named "Momma" brought her babies to visit us when they were out of the nest. Squirrel babies are SOOOOOOOOO adorable! Their tails are long and poofy, just like the adults, but their bodies are still teeny tiny. It's the funniest thing to see. The ones in the video weren't even that big...their tails were still skinny too. *sigh* Awwwww.

At one time i helped care for three blackbirds:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sg_fexx_19.JPG
Messy birds. But they were funny, they eat anything you give them. When they were larger i used to hunt for worms to feed them. It used to take them a lonnng time to eat one. It would stick out of their mouths for at least 30 minutes, but i guess they knew what they were doing.

Actually here's a video:

Those are all so sweet. It's funny that I could care less for human babies but I go completely ga-ga over baby critters.

Maybe we should just glue some fur to human babies and see if it improves your opinion of them? :biggrin: All the drooling and sniffly noses doesn't really improve the cuteness of human babies either. Why is it that the other animals are capable of teething without all that drooling, but human babies can't?

I went to a Halloween party once and a couple had their toddler dressed up in a little tiger outfit. I must admit, I found the kid adorable!
