20 Cutest Kittens Of The Week: The Tiniest Fluffiest Criminals (December 31, 2022)

Well, friends, it's the final day of 2022, and quite frankly, we think that there is only way proper way to start it, and that's by the celebrating the tiniest most awwdorable criminals. "Criminals?" you ask. Yes. Everyone knows at this point that itty bitty kitties are some of the most powerful creatures in the universe, that they can make us do things - like aww uncontrollably or like want to suddenly adopt a kitten - without even trying. But we can't help but love them.

That's why we put together a list of the cutest kittens of 2022 - also known as the biggest criminals. It's also why we make this listicle of the tiniest and fluffiest criminal kittens every single week. Because even though it's risky to look through it (honestly, the urge it gives us to adopt yet another kitten is far too strong), looking at these little guys also brings us joy. And joy is all we want on this final day of the year. Enjoy friends, and have a fabulous new year!

"So today, Christmas day, it hit 84° here in the Los Angeles area. I wanted to go on a motorcycle ride with my wife. She said let's go for a walk. So we did and we found this little girl eating a burrito in the garbage. She is nice and clean now after her bath, and the removal of about a dozen fleas."
