And We Say Together: "Awwwwwww!!!!!!"
It is, indeed, a veritable cornucopia of cuteness. Take this little monkey clinging to a stuffed duck, for example. Now that's just ... cute.
If you have the courage, visit some of the animal-specific galleries at the site, such as the one devoted to bunnies or the one devoted to puppies.
Unless you're feeling especially resilient, though, I'd urge you to stay away from the kitten gallery, for there you will have to deal with the likes of this and, even more disturbingly, this.

On second look, the bunnie/hamster/kitten/puppy thing is not as disturbing as I first thought. The kitten is taking a good look at the hamster as if its true feline nature might eventually come through and it will, as appropriate for its species, devour the dirty little rodent.

You are a bad, bad, person.
My 8 year old daughter saw that picture, hijacked my computer and I was forced to endure hours (well, it seemed like hours) of cute bunnies, kittens and what not.
I'm scarred, I tell you. Scarred.

Woah! When I showed that site to you, I didn't think you'd blog about it!
But now everyone must suffer its cuteness.

Ha! And I was the one who told Abby about the site...
I feel so proud.

Hey, Eric:
You've gotta watch your daughters or use those parental controls that they offer. Certainly, there is a filter for toxic cuteness.

If you need an antidote pill, go to http://hannes.domainplanet.at/fusi/BunnySuicide/Bunny%20suicides.html
I'm especially fond of the "World of Knives" cartoon.

cuteoverload is good, but it's not interactive.
Kittenwar.com shows you pairs of kittens and lets you vote for the cutest.
Set an alarm before you start, or you'll be at it for hours.

Will you take the responsibility of paying my medical bills when I end up in a diabetic coma? (Oh, and I don't have Diabetes.)
