Come closer, everyone, gather round, and lean in close, because if you don't, you might miss these teeny weeny kitties. Literally. Because they're that smol. The cold weather does not stop the itty bitty kitty committee from commencing, and we must be in attendance. Here, we discuss and celebrate our feline overlords. These kittens are small, but they are fierce. They are so tiny yet so full of mischievousness. And they are not ashamed to make demands of their human servants.

One of these demands, of course, is that we make this meeting happen and put together a listicle of the most worship-worthy itty bitty kitties of the week every single week. No exceptions. We must serve them when they're young, so that we may earn their grace when they are older. Continue into this collection at your own risk, friends, because these kittens have powers that mankind has yet to fully understand.

"I’ve been informed I must report Noma as illegally smol"

via boldlybranded

"She has a severe heart murmur, but blood tests were cleared. I must admit these photos are from October 2022. Noma is now 2 years old and still small for cat size but thriving… Pregnant Mama was abandoned at a friend's farm. She had been keeping a distant eye on the litter and came home to find Noma on the ground push out of the outdoor cat house they were staying in. She was nearly dead, but the friend knows animal CPR and resuscitated her. Mama and one kitten from the litter still live at the farm!"

"I have a reformed Illegally Smol, who is now a regular sized menace"

"Sushi was given to me by a friend of a friend; he was the runt of a litter that was born in her barn. He was .75 lb when I brought him home at 12 weeks. (The first two pictures are from the owner of the barn he was born in; the second one is of him with his same litter sibling)But you can see with lots of love and spoiling and aggressive parenting by two other cats who don't know how they had a baby but da**it there's a baby and he's theirs now, he has quickly grown into a fully regular sized terror."

"She was found outside in 12° weather. She did not have a heartbeat, so we did cpr while rushing her to the vet. She was revived successfully, and spent the night to bring her body temperature back up to normal. Vet guesses shes around 11 weeks old."
