20 Cute Cats To Make Your Heart Melt

There always comes a time when you need a good-old dose of cuteness. Whether you watched a scary movie or remembered your lovely pet while at work, these pictures of cute cats will at least ease your mind. Even if you’re more of a dog person, you can’t deny the cuteness of cats. Of course, nothing beats the real thing when you have the fluff ball right in front of your eyes, but hey, what can you do while sitting in the office?

Usually, it’s the little kittens that make our hearts melt the most. And it’s no wonder—they are actual embodiments of animal cuteness. But don’t underestimate grown-up cats! Sure, they all have their own “hunter” attitudes, varying between calmness equal to a monk and absolute nerve-wracking devils. But they’re still as goofy as ever! Most of the time, you might not even see them. But once you hear a loud bang from a kitchen, you know you’re in for a treat of Puss-in-Boots-level cuteness that even cat memes couldn’t achieve.

Which cat breeds are the cutest?

If you ask this question to many people, you will receive an equal number of answers. And while we firmly believe that any breed of cats can be and are cute, here are some of the most popular choices:

Birman
Maine Coon
Munchkin cat
Ragdoll
Ragamuffin

However, there are so many unique cat breeds that it might take a lot of work to keep up. The sheer size of Maine Coon cats can be intimidating, but they are no less cute. Meanwhile, pictures of Ragdolls capture how these goofy cats do everything they can to live up to their name. So, be the judge yourself—no need to pick one breed, either. As we said, every cat can be cute in their own way.

Why are cats so cute?

We could debate for days about what makes these beautiful creatures so cute. For some, it might seem just one of nature’s ways to make itself more beautiful. Others might dig deeper in a quest to find the answer. But it’s not as simple as it might seem—apparently, each cat’s expression might have a meaning behind it. Also, their facial structure resembles that of a human baby, which, according to Konrad Lorenz, is a fundamental part of finding something “cute.”

What would be a fitting name for a cute kitten?

Choosing what to call an animal is often a throughout and personal process. There are some funny cat names around, however, there usually is a sense of seriousness when naming a pet. But for the sake of the easy-going vibe going on, here are some of the cutest pet names for cats:

Sir Meows A Lot
Nick Furry
Goofy
Ozzy Pwasborne
Kit-Kat

Now, names like these often aren’t our initial choices. But over time, when we get to know our furry friend’s character and quirks, something called “pet name evolution” happens. And when this phenomenon occurs, your innocent little kitten, Plum, becomes a much more established and aristocratic—Lord Plumbarton Oaks.
