Still, you cannot deny this remains the best Halloween pet costume you’ve seen since “Croc Munches Pup“

The cat you see before you is real. It is the happiest cat you have ever seen. You watch the video many times. Soon, it becomes hard to move. You feel a happy melting sensation in your brain. Speech becomes difficult.
Remain calm. Doctors are coming for you. They will take you to a nice room with other happy people. You will share your opinions about soft drinks and political candidates. You will rate movie trailers. The doctors will write down what you say.
When you awaken, you will be at your desk. You will remember nothing. Thank you.
People, this year’s Top Ten Cutest Photos list blows 2010 and 2009 AWAY—see for yourselfs. This morning, we checked the Xtreme Cute Overload Stat-o-Meter™ which tracks every post, checks the amount of screeching per image, and reports back. Then we know we got ya. Based on that metering system, and without further ado, here are the Top Ten Photos of 2011.
Cue the Cute Lang Syne music!
Just when we thought Red Goose Shoes went out of business decades ago, they go and make a comeback. Sender-inner Rebecca B. explains:
These nice folks were staying with us at the St. Francis Inn in St. Augustine, FL. They let me photograph their pet goose, who goes by the name of “Gator.”
While walking alongside his owners in urban or suburban areas, Gator often has to cross many blocks of asphalt and concrete. All that rough terrain takes a toll on his feet, so his people commissioned a special pair of Teva sandals for their bird.
They say it’s totally worth the expense, and Gator seems to like the shoes just fine …
… though sometimes it looks like he “marches” more than he walks. Very deliberate steps.
According a story floating around the Internets, this little ginger foster kitten named Cheech was introduced to a teeny tiny five-day old orphaned chihuahua puppy named Casanova.
Cheech took to the little puppy, immediately grooming and cleaning him.
The puppy responded to his every touch, snuggling up to his new friend like a pup to his mother.
When Cheech was tired, he would climb into the puppy’s box and cuddle, sharing the heating blanket.
To Cheech, he was “his” puppy and best friend.

One day, [dreamily] ferrets won’t be seen just as furry knee socks with eyes, or hammock-dwelling, mischievous ne’er do-wells!
No! [shifts anerable feets] we ferrets will stand up and — Mmm, delicious blankie — lead other Pocket Pets by example!
No more shoe stealing, constant cat swiping or hiding under bed covers surprising humans when they least expect eet! —Yawn—
That day will come, Claire. It will.

Step 1: Locate Cub. Snorf cub neck to determine if said cub is indeed the correct cub that needs a pickin’ (up.)
Step 2: Brace self with nearby log (or chair leg) for support
Step 3: Grip cub firmly with patented Double-Wrap-Around-Huggular-Neck-Chomp-n-Claw™ motion!
Step 4: If cub grip loosens, perform extra snarfing action at nape of neck
Step 5: Finally, carry cub around like you own the place!
Oh and, try not to swing the baby to and fro, it’s bad form.

Hairless is RARELY cute, People, and I had to see this one to believe it.
Uncle Leron told me he found a hairless Guinea Pig that was cute, and then the conversation went “I don’t believe you, no WAY are hairless guinea pigs cuu—AWWWWWWWOMGLOOKATTHAT”

Oh please, People, you gotta check this slothful action out.
Tell me the little guy tipping over holding the stuffy doesn’t just kill you. KEEL.
The doggy snatchers always wait until their victims are asleep. There’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s painless. It’s good. Come. Sleep.
Feel free to quake in terror, Michelle S.
Thanks to alert cuteporters, it has come to our attention that Knut the Polar Bear has passed away! He was only four years old. Cause of his death is not yet known.
We watched, loved and snorted with laughter at Knut over the years. Here are some highlights of our favorite [sniff] polar bear:
Remember his first “Wazzup, Bitches?” [snicker] paw pads pose?
Knut’s miniature baby gut and first steps were priceless:
Visitors flocked from far and wide to witness “The star of the Berlin Zoo”:
Knut quickly became known as an International Subearstar, playing the crowds. He really stepped it up for this photo. Geeshe:
His fame led to awareness for green issues, where graced the cover of Vanity Fair:
After Knut after he was abandoned by his mother, zookeeper Thomas Dorflein stayed by Knut’s side. Dorflein passed away in September 2008.
In 2009, Knut was introduced to Gianna, an Italian girl intended to become Knut’s mate. The first day they shared an enclosure, Gianna slapped Knut, but they got along peacefully after that.
Earlier this year, Knut’s lavish 4th birthday was attended by 250 people who sang to him as he gobbled up cake:
But this video and soundtrack captured everyone’s heart:
