Top 10 Cutest Things Ever

Cuteness is not a fair fight. One second you are a normal, functioning person with things to do, and the next you are melting over tiny paws, wobbly steps, squeaky sounds, oversized eyes, and faces so sweet they should probably come with a warning label. This list celebrates the little creatures, characters, and moments that can turn even your most serious mood into a puddle.

Your vote helps decide which adorable contender deserves the top spot. Maybe you go for fluff. Maybe you fall for innocence. Maybe your heart is easily defeated by anything small enough to fit in two hands. No judgment here. This is the soft side of TheTopTens, where logic takes a snack break and pure "aww" gets the final say.

The Top Ten

Kittens

Kittens aren't nearly as helpless, but they look it, so we cuddle them to within an inch of their lives.
So there you have it: kittens are cute because they're soft, have baby-like features, and humans have a deep-seated need to pet soft things.

Kittens are my favorite animal ever! I see one kitten or cat, and suddenly my heart is completely attached.
If I never see it again, my heart leaves with it. But somehow, I never run out of hearts to give to other kittens and cats!

Omg, they are all cute! Cats and kittens are way better than dogs!
People say dogs are cuter, but since this is about kittens, it's kittens and cats for sure!
Puppies

Puppies are one of the cutest animals in the world. Very true. I love the tiny ones that you can just squeeze, and they are so fluffy.
They're definitely better than cats, and they should be number one.

Ooh! These are the types of dogs I want when I get a dog!
Those tiny teacup Pomeranian puppies are just so fluffy and adorable!

Puppies and Pikachu are the cutest things ever! Nothing is cuter than puppies and Pikachu!
Baby Penguins

They are so cute to look at! I hope they are not endangered or become endangered.

Baby penguins are so small, which makes them cute.
Baby Humans

Awwwwwww, cute little baby! So cute. Babies are not ugly, and this is a boy talking. They should be number one. Even though I am not an adult, I believe that one day, when we have kids, people who think babies are ugly will definitely change their minds.

Aww, babies are so adorable. I can't believe I'm actually about to become an adult so soon. *sniffle* I don't want it to come so fast. I miss enjoying my life as a child! (sob)

I'm not that much of a fan, but I love it when they try to walk and talk.
Rabbits

Rabbits, also known as bunnies or bunny rabbits, are small mammals in the family Leporidae, which also includes hares, and the order Lagomorpha, which also includes pikas. Oryctolagus cuniculus encompasses the European rabbit and its descendants, including the world's 305 breeds of domestic rabbit. Sylvilagus... read more

Bunnies are the cutest ever! They are fluffy and amazing! Their ears, tails, and big shiny eyes make me want to scream.
That's the only way to express how cute they are!

I have pet rabbits, and I love them! I remember stroking a really cute rabbit at the pet shop. My brother loves them and wants a Flemish Giant rabbit.
It has always been my dream to own one!

Who can forget these cuties? I had one as a kid. He died at one year old, sadly.
Chicks

I love chicks and their little chirps!

So fluffy and their little chirps!
Women

I have a lot of Japanese family members. They are all so cute.

My aunt Veronica is so beautiful. I love her!

I voted for it because I am a woman.
Lion Cubs

Lion cubs will grow to be strong and fierce, but as cubs, they are cute. Just be sure not to fall in love with them.
Ok, you can fall in love!

I have seen a lioness and a lion, but I have not seen a lion cub.

They are so cute. Too bad I have always wanted one.
Baby Sloths

Just look at that picture of adorableness. The adorable sloth with its curious look and little furry paw. Vote!

They look so helpless and adorable! I could look at baby sloths all week if I wanted to!

I just would want to hug one.
Baby Kangaroos (Joeys)

Even though people say that they are not cute, I think they should be at least number seven.

Pikachu is my second favorite Pokemon. The fact that he has a zig-zag tail and round eyes that look like he wants something from you is adorable. And the game, Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu, is really cute when you load it up. I'm not telling you my favorite Pokemon because it's really unpopular. #PikachuIsTheCutest

I just want to kidnap this cute little yellow ball of fluff! I will shower Pikachu with love and care! Best Pokemon ever, hands down! I would die for this cutie! Cutest thing ever since puppies!

I love the way they swim and everything!
Baby Groot
Pusheen the Cat

I have a teddy like this, but it has different fur and is not holding a pizza. I sleep on my "Pusheen" every night.

I can't resist hugging kittens, but there's an even cuter one: Pusheen the cat.

I want to give this ten out of ten. It is so cute. I have a book just like this.
