You know what they say - and by "they", we mean "we" - the smaller the kitten, the bigger its crimes, and the bigger your smile will be in reaction to them. It's a problem. It really. Itty bitty kitties are too cute. It's detrimental to the crime rates in our households. The powers of meownipulation that these teeny weeny kittens hold are far greater than their size. You adopt one, thinking that it'll be harmless, that you will just be awwing all day, without realizing that from the meowment the enter your home, you will be their loyal servant.

These criminals even force us to make this segment every single week, showcasing the smallest kittens - i.e. the biggest criminals, and we can't stop ourselves from following their orders. Because they are too cute. They commit crimes of theft and destruction in our houses, and instead of being outraged, we simply aww and smile, as you will be doing throughout this article. Because they are too cute, and yes, there is such a thing as "too cute" indeed. You're about to see it.

You know how we say that you should cherish every day that your cat is a kitten because that period will be over faster than you know it? Well, apparently not. Apparently, some cats stay the same. And we wish you luck, human. You may think this is a good thing, but you must remember, the smaller they are, the bigger their powers of meownipulation.

Ooh, double the trouble. You better keep one eye open at all times, humans, because these two will be scheming together. While you are trying to untangle one of them from your curtains, the other one will be inside your grocery bags, grabbing snacks for the both of them.
