How to Make a Baby at Least 15 Times More Adorable

Nicole Pasulka — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 15:27:00 GMT

This is Emily. She's two. Pretty cute, right? Now what would you say if we told you this photo of Emily is about to go from cute to so adorable you might accidentally stab yourself?

Put away the sharp objects, folks.

The orange one on the left is Rishi. He was born in an animal sanctuary and rejected by all the males in his group and then sent to The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (TIGERS) in Miami, Florida. When photographer Barry Bland went to take some pictures of Rishi, he brought along his daughter Emily and, well, now we might have to be hospitalized.

You think Scanner Emily moved to Kansas City? We know the real story. That girl totally ran off to play Janet to Rishi and Emily's Jack and Chrissy.

Let's Curl up With a Pile of Puppies

Live Videos by Ustream

After last night, we are severely hung over on joy and satisfaction. What better to do now than watch a webcam of Shiba Inu puppies. This is a clip from the cam, but there is no limit to the puppy watching you can do.

Oh my God! They're wrestling in a puppy pile. We might die. As we write this cuteness is making history...live! We can kiss the rest of the afternoon goodbye.

We Just Overdosed on Adorable

Because sometimes, the only thing that can soothe the raging beast inside you is a video of a mother bulldog and her puppies snoring and whimpering the day away.

What Happens When a Child Inherits Both the "Cute" Gene and the "Weird" Gene

This little girl is getting her groove on and kind of bugging out at the same time. Luckily someone was supportive enough of her wylin' out to remix it into a very crazy dance track. Music and video after the jump.

Ninja Cat Is Stealthy, But Ultimately Still Scared of You

Nicole Pasulka — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 19:05:00 GMT

This video of Ninja Cat, the cat that comes closer without moving, is one of the greatest things we've seen all day. So charming, it could even cheer up Lehman Bros. execs.

Tuesday Baby Panda Action

Nicole Pasulka — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:41:00 GMT

Way more appealing than grubby celebrity babies, we have some hand-reared baby panda shots for you on this rainy Tuesday.

That's right, in this photo is a paw, a tiny baby panda paw. No way some slimer crawling out of Lindsay Lohan vagina will have a paw that adorable!

Yes there are more. Oh get ready to die a little from the cuteness.

Still alive? Didn't think so.

Tiny Dancer Now Doing the Tango in Heaven

Nicole Pasulka — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:03:00 GMT

This terrible news! Tiny Dancer, a four-inch tall chihuahua and most likely the world's smallest dog has died at the tiny age of 2. And Oh! how his owner Jenny Gomes is grieving. Her post on Dogster.com via Dlisted--

I have lost the love of my life...my Tiny Dancer! He gave me so much to look forward to and he enriched so many lives with his Therapy Dog work! God why did you take him from me so soon...I still need him so much! My heart is breaking into little pieces and I can't stop crying! I know it will get better...I don't want it to...I want my baby back! I feel like I can't breath...It's really hard to see thru the tears...I know I have lots of other animals that need me...but...I need my little man back!

Sorry for going on and on...but, I have no other outlet other than here! God...Please take care of my Tiny Dancer...I will see you again one day...I love you soooooo much!

We have a shrine to our dog and he's still alive. We feel your pain Jenny. There's a special place in heaven for mouse-sized dogs.

Abandoned Baby Hedgehogs Make Orphan Annie Look Like the Wicked Witch of the West

Nicole Pasulka — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 21:00:00 GMT

The only break these poor baby hedgehogs can catch requires a cast and bandages. They're too weak to hibernate and the weather has led to a shortage of the grubs, slugs, beetles, and caterpillars they eat. We want to take these babies and carry their busted little selves around in a shoebox with us everywhere we go. We finally get that weird girl in second grade who brought a baby bird with a broken wing to school and kept it in her locker.

Here's Why We Want to Eat Cute Things Alive

Nicole Pasulka — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 15:30:00 GMT

This article is a fascinating, if slightly long, read on the erotics and history of cuteness. Rachel Poliquin discusses dwarves in royal courts, Tom Thumb weddings between children, dolls, miniatures, and pet weddings. It seems cute things are appealing because they can be nurtured and babied, taken care of and shamelessly lorded over. Just a little hardcore cultural analysis to complicate all that time-wasting you've been doing on Cute Overload.

Orphaned Owls So Cute We Want to Eat Them Alive

Nicole Pasulka — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 15:47:00 GMT

Yep, this is it, folks. These orphaned baby owls were rescued and taken to an animal hospital, where they now mistake this bigger stuffed owl for their mother. Can we get a collective, "Awwwww"? OK, carry on.
