Awwdorable Facts About Kune Kune Pigs and Piglets (Viral Thread)

In the words of imgur user caesarstoga, "[t]here seems to be a critical shortage of these chaps on Imgur," and the same goes for the rest of the internet. These unique pigs are probably one of the most adorable pig breeds out there, and in this viral imgur thread, caesarstoga teaches us exactly why.

They're cuddly, they're harmless, their tiny widdle piglets are the cutest, and they love hanging out with cats. There is nothing else that we could ask for. Allow these "fat and round" creatures to warm your hearts and your snouts, and us and the piggies wish you "a cracking good day".
