Babies

[TheBoulder]

It probably has something to do with babies giving you crap filled diapers while kittens give you cookies even though they eated them.

I think its an uncanny valley thing. Babies look sort of human, but bits of reptilian appearance and behavior. I think by 4 or 5 they look like tiny people and can be classified as "cute".

Lets either a screaming, crying, farting, barfing, peeing, pooing, and usless thing. or a licking, loving, pooing, peeing, thing. hmm i think i like the latter better.

Daaaaawwww, the wittle cwabby wabby just wants a hug!

OT: It's definitely because they have no fur.

Take baby crows (alright, feathers, whatever).

Ehh im going to withhold my opinion because when we were cave people we would most likely club the female we wanted to bangs kid to death so she would have sex with us sooooo yeah...

I think babies are pretty cute, with their chubby little hands and adorable little smiles.

...and adorably vomiting on you while you wipe their shitty bottom.

Just like puppy dogs adorably pissing on the floor and coughing up the blue-tongued lizard they just downed whilst biting your hand.

I think cute's an entirely subjective term and it just comes down to what you find to be adorable, I've met people who think the boomer from left 4 dead was absolutely adorable, I've met people who think spiders are cute.
