Rule of Cuteness #34: If your tail curls up, it’s cute
May 30, 2007 By
"Peewee" pup was adopted to become a full-time companion.
Do you think there was a little sign at the pet adoption place that said: "Best muzzle-pow-sche evar."
I think serhe.
Lindsay G., Thanks for adding ANOTHER tail rule.

May 26, 2007 By
Your tail is all: "Herylerhe, what’s happeningk?"
And your ears are all flat and not listening.

Rule of Cuteness #29 AND 30!
January 18, 2007 By
OK, People, this is UN-PEE-RESS-A-DENTED!
Not one but TWO rules of Cuteness at ONCE! [hyperventilating]
I might have to sit down.
RULE #29: If you flex your paws repeatedly in a kneading motion in the air for no reason, IT’S CUTE!
RULE #30: If your breath shows in the form of your stomach moving in a quick, fluttering fashion, IT’S SO CUTE!
This day will live in INFAMAY, Jen S.!
Rule of Cuteness #28, Your head looks down, but your eyes look up
January 3, 2007 By
Heck, it’s about time we made this an official Rule of Cuteness. What took so long? I mean, this one is so obvy. This one is also known as "Princess Di" eyes, since she was so good at it. Of course this rule should also be known as "puppy-dog eyes"—same deal.
Accordin’ to sender-inner Sydney G., "John Bailey" the bun is "ready to go public" with this photo. LOL!
Rule of Cuteness #27: “Chub”
December 4, 2006 By
OK, it’s official, Peeps, a new Rule of Cuteness is the appearance of “chub” or small rolls underneath eyes (as shown in this post.) Another prime example of ‘Chub’ is shown here with this dachshund’s pawsitude.
Nice rolls, Rex! (And Sarah V.)
Possible new rule of cuteness?!

Meg: Settle down, People, there is a guest cuteologist here for a lecture, and he has some excellent observations to share with the class. Dr. Mike-in-Denver, please, go ahead. [open gesture to crowd]
Mike in Denver: [Clears throat] Um, yes, thank you, Dr. Frost. Let me start by saying that while perusing The Cute I have noticed a phenomenon that I think is worth suggesting for a possible canonization.
[students at edges of seats, hummingbirds buzzing overhead carrying notes]
Namely, sleepy eyes: the droopy lids, the unfocused expression, but mainly the overemphasized lower eyelid region. When prominent, this seems always to = cute (unless it’s on, say, Brian Dennehy). I have attached a mashup of some good examples for your class to review.
While this may be a subset of ‘eye capsules’ (as the two are often interlinked), it seems to function independently. It also seems that kittens, puppies, and other young’uns are best at this, but then, they’re best at everything, I suppose.
Anyway, I thought I should go ahead and submit this to the CuteLab for analysis.
[students nod enthusiastically]
Meg: Thank you very much, Dr. Mike-in-Denver. Students, GET ANALYZIN’!
Rule of Cuteness #26: If you have 4 legs and can tuck yourself in, you’re cute
July 31, 2006 By
Sure, their might be some dirty laundry in this photo, but please try and focus. The point is that four-legged Phoebe can successfully tuck herself into bed, and dammit, that’s adorable. Ruhmember when Rufus did that?
Good work, Phoebes. You too, Elisabeth D.!
Rule of Cuteness #25: Dangle your paw
July 15, 2006 By
The irresistable dangling paw. You must GRAB EET!
"Yams" and his flopping, dangling pawsitude is just too much!
Kim S., that’s the cleanest kitty nose of all time.
