Cats already dominate our hearts but when you introduce us to tiny kittens, they can melt into pink warm goo. Too much cuteness can be detrimental!
Luckily, there’s a subreddit that collects pictures of “illegally smol cats,” warning of the suspects that might pull such a trick on us.
If you dare to meet them, proceed with caution. But if you somehow manage to make it through this list in one piece and desire more, fire up our earlier piece on this adorable online community.
