The 50 Cutest Things That Ever Happened

Since the concept of "Cute" was first dreamed up some time around the invention of cats in 30 B.C., a great many cute things have happened. But these were the very cutest of all.

1. The day this orphaned kitten pushed his stepbrother around in a tiny, kitten-sized shopping cart

2. The dual, simultaneous, equiversal kisses planted on this lucky otter by his two best friends.

3. Four legendary birthday parties for, respectively, a stoned dog, two chinchillas, an existential cat, and Ludwig the elephant.

4. The mischievous sloth who photobombed a group of tourists.

5. The day this kid and his cat decided to plot their escape together ...

... and started a revolution.

6. The smiling seal who welcomed a honeymooning couple to the Galapagos.

7. And the meerkat who fell in love with a stuffed meerkat of himself.

8. The fateful day when Boo the pomeranian hid inside a pile of Boos and then fell asleep.

9. The baby elephant who spent a day at the beach and had the time of her life.

10. The letter this kid wrote to Professor Dumbledore (SPOILERS!)

11. The cute but tragic but, let's be honest, more cute than tragic Panda Slide Accident of 2008.

12. And the inspiring act of panda altruism that suddenly made everything OK again.

13. And then also the time that this panda thing happened.

14. The people who rescued a sheep from a flood in a kayak.

23. Or the pug who pushed her toy baby pugs around in a stroller. With a parasol.

24. Or (for God's sake) the seeing-eye pug who helps her blind pug friend get around.

25. And also while we are on the "seeing-eye" topic, let's talk just real quicklike about this seeing-eye cat who see-eyes for a labrador out of the great and glorious goodness of her heart.

26. Then there was the time we all learned what happens when you burn someone's feelings.

27. And the time a possum broke into a bakery and ate so many danishes that he couldn't leave.
