OMG you´re so right. After Surprise Kitty, Firefighter gives Oxygen to Kitten and now THIS…. this has got to be the ultimate, final level of cute ever….
I was wondering when you were going to post this My head most definitely exploded when I saw this. This is quite possibly the cutest thing I’ve seen since surprise kitty. The open mouth, the wee little kitten belleh, the dream twitching, the mommy hug….squeeeeee
I said the same thing!!! Well, okay, what I *actually* said when I posted it on FB was:
“Squee–squeeee…wait, what’s Mama doing…—-? *gasp* SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! I think I woke my neighbours. Cutest. Thing. EVER. Right up there with Surprised Kitty!”
The hubby is not as amused as I am. *sigh* They just don’t get it.
AND [not actualleh "tinee" but] Tabbee….. (Where’s TUM?)….and also, while I think it might not be among the Offish Rules of Cuteness, there are a significant quantity of orunj-cat-o-philes here @ CO, so that would be an additional contendere…..
I just can’t decide what’s the cutest on this: the tiny honk-shus, the twitchin’ paws, the mommy hug. Whoever filmed and posted this wins the internets.
I am totes impressed with Momcat’s ability to stretch-swat, pull kitten in close, and snorgle so gracefully — one smooth movement! And the kittaynpawflutters make me all glittery inside.
*Wipes up kittyadventures, ever so gentleh, onto a lace hanky.*
*Carefully dons Library Lady Cat’s-Eye Rhinestoned Spectacles*
*Begins researching reconbinant DNA, reincarnation and other topics by which to revive kittyadventures, in some form or another….*
I was wondering the same thing. I think the only option is to go home now, since I am but a pile of mush after watching that. What a gorgeous mom and a totally delicious kitten!
@ victoreia: at least Mike was merciful enough to post this on a FRIDAY …
Just imagine the shrapnel & debris all over the innernets, had this been posted at 9:30 on a Monday morning????
this is the way to World Peace: just sit all potential combatants down, and play this on a huge screen. on a loop. perhaps intercut with Surprise Kitty. Then return to this. Perhaps accompany with soft lullaby music (instrumental only).
Potential Combatants will become too squeeeeemush to continue fighting. Hugs all around; everyone goes home and snorgles kittens or puppies and they all live happily ever after.
On a day in which I could really use a hug myself, this helped.
I have to ask, though… Chased by penguins? What’s wrong with that? I’d let the pengies catch me!
it’s the floppiness of the paws during the twitching that really gets me. that makes me laugh the same way pollen up my nose makes me sneeze – i just can’t help it.
Don’t get me wrong; this is THE cutest video evar…
… but am I the only one that gets annoyed when people don’t know how to use the focus button on their cameras? Or resort to using their phones to take pictures or movies? (Any cheap digital camera will take better pictures/videos than a phone can!)…
… sorry to disturb the happy cuteness vibe….
IT is just that they are too close to the kitty… most cameras want you to be about 5 feet away or more. Which is pretty close but sometimes you just want to be closer.
There’s that saying that the best camera is the one you have on you. Sometimes when the cute happens, you have to capture it ASAP, rather than hunt down a regular camera.*
Hehe, you´re as bad as me, but that´s cause I´m a photographer i.e. *perfectionist* and very picky. In this case though… I wasn´t. I was too overwhelmed by Qte.
They just showed this on NBC Nightly News, so I had to log on to be sure CO had the whole thing! My two marmies often wrap a paw over each other when they sleep side-by-side and now I shall have to get a camera and watch them and wait. Because clearly there’s nothing else to see on the internet–as someone above said, it’s DONE! Mission: Accomplished!
Beg to differ. They most certainly did not show it. In fact, Brian Williams said, “We’re not going to show you this video of a cat hugging her kitten because we’re a serious newscast.” They also didn’t show the video of a cat interrupting its human as he practiced a speech, and they absolutely didn’t show a beagle catching a ball between its paws. Such a thing would be beneath their dignity, I’m sure.
They are just worried that if they showed it, there would be instant world peace from all the “awwwwwwww” s and *HUGS* and there would be nothing left to report
I was at the pub last night and me and a couple of friends watched this video 3 times in a row on my mobile phone (squeeing and turning into puddles of goo – at least *I* was!), and I was told that people who were not normally into cute stuff like this had reposted it on Facebook – we´re talking real macho men who don´t normally like stuff like this.
Showed this to my husband last night, and even he let out a loud Awwww (before he realized what he was doing and tried to play it off ), and he does not aww at anything lol.
Do NOT view this video in a public location such as a coffee shop. Unless you don’t mind all conversation around you stopping, and everyone turning to look at you because of the ear-splitting squee that erupted out of your mouth.
Not that I’m speaking from experience or anything… >.>
That is the most loving thing I have seen all week, I just loved the way the mother huged it’s baby it makes you want to go hug someone like pass the hug or something like that, I also think it shows the real love there is between mother cat and baby you can’t get any better showing of mother and kitten bond between the kitty family
At first I was all like, “D’aaawwwwww, sweet paw-dream-twitching.” And then Ma Kitty pulled that little orangie in for a hug and I squealed at a pitch dogs several states over could probably hear.
Awwee now why did that bring a tear to my eye… Sweet dreams little one.. Sweet dreams … Mama’s here..
Well, you might as well shut the site down and go home.
I don’t know how much more cute you can pack into one video.
(I wanted to post something more intelligible than “OMGKITTENGETSAHUGSQUEEE” *headkasplode*)
“(I wanted to post something more intelligible than OMGKITTENGETSAHUGSQUEEE” *headkasplode*)”
But that´s exactly the reaction I had too when I first saw this on Facebook this afternoon….
I felt the same way. We have achieved Maximum Cuteness, people. It’s over. Our study of Cuteology is complete, and everyone graduates with honors.
Will the last person to leave the internet please shut off the lights.
OMG you´re so right. After Surprise Kitty, Firefighter gives Oxygen to Kitten and now THIS…. this has got to be the ultimate, final level of cute ever….
My head basically exploded from CUTE OVERLOAD!!!
Agreed.
This is exactly how Chloe and I look most mornings. Well, not exactly, as I am not as that momcat, but that is about how we snuggle.
Um, was supposed to say something like “I am not as pretty as that momcat”….
I bet you are to Chloe.
I was wondering when you were going to post this
My head most definitely exploded when I saw this. This is quite possibly the cutest thing I’ve seen since surprise kitty. The open mouth, the wee little kitten belleh, the dream twitching, the mommy hug….squeeeeee
Yes, definitely the cutest thing since surprise kitty. Now I don´t know which is cuter…. I think we have two equal winners here!
Oh and also not to forget the firefighter gives kitten oxygen! I think those 3 are now my all time/life favourites…
I said the same thing!!! Well, okay, what I *actually* said when I posted it on FB was:
“Squee–squeeee…wait, what’s Mama doing…—-? *gasp* SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! I think I woke my neighbours. Cutest. Thing. EVER. Right up there with Surprised Kitty!”
The hubby is not as amused as I am. *sigh* They just don’t get it.
You’re so right! I was like “SQUEEEE!!” and “Awwwwwww!!!” and “did you see!?!? did you see?!!” and all he could say was, “*sigh*, yes, Rach, I saw.”
Well
to you too then! *pouts*
LOL
Really? My husband cried.
I really want to name a cat “Noodle” someday.
cutest. video. ever.
Eet is almost too moishe…*sigh*
One special moment I enjoy is the teeny kitten “smacking its leeps” in sleepy contentment after mommy pulls her/him close.
I thought the same thing. I love the sweet lip-smackin’ action. So content.
A Mother’s love is precious.
Purrfection!
I saw this on ICHCB this morning, and I thought then, as I think now, that this is HONKIN’ adorable.
Or as Theresa would say, STINKIN’ cute!
REEKING.
So nauseatingly cute that I just wanna hurl.
Of course the hurl would be rainbows, but still.
This should go in a special cat-egory called “If Cute Could Kill” or “Extreme Cute” that should come with a health warning.
Someone posted it on boingboing today with a caveat that the extreme cuteness might cause “diabeetus”.
…..and I think the new Extreme-Cuteness tag should say “diabeetus”!
Whenever you say the term ‘diabeetus’ your best Wilford Brimley voice.
Whenever you say the term ‘diabeetus’ you should use your best Wilford Brimley voice.
THE Diabeetus.
I have the diabeetus and now I can feel my blood sugar shooting through the roof.
D’awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
hooooow did the camera person NOT squeal and explode into a million pieces
how many rules of cuteness are exhibited here!?
- look helpless
- paws up
- a thing and a smaller version of a thing
not to mention the axis of snorgling on display…
AND “snorgling axis” (and/ or “belleh”)
AND [not actualleh "tinee" but] Tabbee….. (Where’s TUM?)….and also, while I think it might not be among the Offish Rules of Cuteness, there are a significant quantity of orunj-cat-o-philes here @ CO, so that would be an additional contendere…..
oops susanna DID already mention axis/ snorgling but
I was so Jazzed I di-unt slow down long enough to “check myself” sowwy …:(
I just can’t decide what’s the cutest on this: the tiny honk-shus, the twitchin’ paws, the mommy hug. Whoever filmed and posted this wins the internets.
omgsofreakincute…*ded*
this actually made me all teary. and i had to go hug my son.
I am totes impressed with Momcat’s ability to stretch-swat, pull kitten in close, and snorgle so gracefully — one smooth movement! And the kittaynpawflutters make me all glittery inside.
And all without having to open her eyes it seems (her head was out of frame for 3 seconds so can’t be sure).
Is this kitten an only child?
If it is, then it´s a lucky kitten cause it gets ALL of mummy´s hugs and doesn´t have to share them with anyone!
omg… so cute
Slumps into pile of goo at desk.

Okay, how am I supposed to work after watching that?
I was wondering the same thing. I think the only option is to go home now, since I am but a pile of mush after watching that. What a gorgeous mom and a totally delicious kitten!

Very true, Fird!
For some of us this is what we need to watch in order to continue working.
Squeeellll…turns to jello juice.
Hopefully mom loosens up the hug and lets little kitteehh breath.
I’ve been a loyal follower for a long time, and this might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen (besides my cat’s post a few years ago).
I think this came just a h-a-i-r from breaking the internet…
[Squee! Squeeeeeee!]
I’m speechless….. honestly speechless…. i’m dead. Too cute!!!!! AAAHHHH
Oh my gosh. I love the goofy, silly, punny things y’all post, but it’s refreshing to see such pure, unadulterated sweetness!
The internet is now over. Go home folks, nothing left to see here.
thank you CO. I needed that after the day I had at work today. Now I can start my weekend off right.
I can’t believe how human-looking that hug was!
Pawsome.
this is the way to World Peace: just sit all potential combatants down, and play this on a huge screen. on a loop. perhaps intercut with Surprise Kitty. Then return to this. Perhaps accompany with soft lullaby music (instrumental only).

I second that motion!!
I third that motion !!!
I fourth it to infinity times elebenty!
I fifth it!
This video could possibly bring about World Peace!
6th! At last: the true way to peace- kittayn huggys!
7th times googleplex!
How is CO ever going to top this?
Too too freaking cute !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a day in which I could really use a hug myself, this helped.
I have to ask, though… Chased by penguins? What’s wrong with that? I’d let the pengies catch me!
Well, when the penguins are three times your size, it’s a leetle scary.

*Applies Hello Kitty Defibr….[spelled it wrong last time & am not presently patient enough to look up the correct sp!!]
*Tucks bookmonstercats, into next available bed in the QteEmergency Ward*
Soooo snugggly. Love this.
That is one lucky lil baby.
The hug . . . it has slain me.
it’s the floppiness of the paws during the twitching that really gets me. that makes me laugh the same way pollen up my nose makes me sneeze – i just can’t help it.
First time I watched this video it made me burst in to tears from the pure sweetness of it.
Love eet! But Kitty-Mom ‘broke’ the kitten – you can see it start in on an “Awwww Moooom!!” wiggle right as the clip ends.
Don’t get me wrong; this is THE cutest video evar…

Hehe, you´re as bad as me, but that´s cause I´m a photographer i.e. *perfectionist* and very picky. In this case though… I wasn´t. I was too overwhelmed by Qte.
This video has had about a million views on YouTube in the last four hours. I think I might be responsible for about 150,000 of those…
MOLOLOL !!! good for you, Marishka
MOLOLOL? What?
They just showed this on NBC Nightly News, so I had to log on to be sure CO had the whole thing! My two marmies often wrap a paw over each other when they sleep side-by-side and now I shall have to get a camera and watch them and wait. Because clearly there’s nothing else to see on the internet–as someone above said, it’s DONE! Mission: Accomplished!

OMG! Cuttest thing I’ve ever seen!
Oh little marmie kitten wrapped in a mommy’s love….
I… I can’t even look at it. It’s too much cuteness.
*plays video again*
WOW
Once this story gets to about the 1:00 mark, it suddenly becomes something that should be filed in a WTF file folder [ a GOOD WTF follder]????
Just amazing! Thank you @Noelegy for posting that! Wow!
That was beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
…something in my eye…snfl
this should go under the heading of Happy Mothers Day!!!
What I want to know is how on earth the person filming was able to suppress the “aaaawwww” that escapes the lips of all who watch this video.
I hit replay about 30 times, then I’ve been trying to re-create with my marmie Nemo. He won’t lie on his back or flap his paws, but he loves the hug.
This is honestly about the cutest video ever.
Well, I hope you’re happy now! I will have absolutely no brain-power for the rest of the weekend. There should be laws against this level of cute!!!
I died… Now I am set for the long weekend!
I was at the pub last night and me and a couple of friends watched this video 3 times in a row on my mobile phone (squeeing and turning into puddles of goo – at least *I* was!), and I was told that people who were not normally into cute stuff like this had reposted it on Facebook – we´re talking real macho men who don´t normally like stuff like this.
I feel we have reached cute nirvana; cutevana if you will.
I wonder how many million people including myself submitted this yesterday?
. . . and a new pinnacle of cuteness is reached.
How about when baby kissed mommy’s eye at .56?
Penguins chasing me?
How the videographer is so quiet is mind boggling. I doubt any one of us could have done that without sploding.
This is quite possibly the cutest post ever. My husband even oohed and aahed!
Showed this to my husband last night, and even he let out a loud Awwww (before he realized what he was doing and tried to play it off
), and he does not aww at anything lol.
A higher bar has been set for cats worldwide. They mutter and scowl to themselves, knowing they’ll never be able to top that cuteness.
OK, you just made me cry. That was beyond sweet!
WARNING
Do NOT view this video in a public location such as a coffee shop. Unless you don’t mind all conversation around you stopping, and everyone turning to look at you because of the ear-splitting squee that erupted out of your mouth.

Stop flailing, baby, and just go to sleep. Mom demands it…..zzzzz…..
That is the most loving thing I have seen all week, I just loved the way the mother huged it’s baby it makes you want to go hug someone like pass the hug or something like that, I also think it shows the real love there is between mother cat and baby you can’t get any better showing of mother and kitten bond between the kitty family
So beautiful, it does reduce one to weeping rainbow tears and melting into a gooey blorp of contented, sweet glitter!
Surely is teh pinnacle (as someone already mentioned) of cuteness!
I´ve never left any comments here before, but I just have to say that hug was my biggest “awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww” moment of the year…
Good thing that little one is flexible
)
That was so adorable!
I’m glad I sent this in. *swoon, <3*
this vid is the secret to achieving world peace
It’s up to almost 8 million views on YouTube – are we sure it isn’t from Japan?
Aaaww. I want a hug from mommy cat too!
AWW
That has to be the SWEETEST video I have ever seen on CuteOverLoad
That is so mega cute, there’s nothing like a big cuddle from Mommy
Awwwww
Jay in Oregon summed it all up at the start.
Your work is done C.O.
Perfection in a moment. No more. No less.
At first I was all like, “D’aaawwwwww, sweet paw-dream-twitching.” And then Ma Kitty pulled that little orangie in for a hug and I squealed at a pitch dogs several states over could probably hear.
Okay Stop it Stop it now! (Danger Zone) Cuteness OVERLOAD!
