There's nothing like a smol kitten. A teeny tiny bundle of cuteness small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. There's something so universally heart-melting about smol-sized kittens. Because it's the end of the year, we're wrapping up 2025 with tiny terror machines: smol cats. Smol is not just cute, it's ubiquitously important to their character. Smol cats, like short girls, have more of a temper than other cats. Smol kitties will hiss, scratch, bite, and meow at you way more than a normal sized cat. Something about the size translates to something brooding, temperamental, and tumultuous.

These pocket-sized babies will make you love them one minute, and make you leave them alone the next. Their capricious nature is all too pawdorable though. One minute you're just minding your business, scrolling through your feed, drinking lukewarm coffee… and the next, you're staring at a kitten the size of a potato chip who is absolutely prepared to ruin your entire day in the best possible way. They have no idea how small they actually are. In their minds, they are lions. Fierce. Mighty. Terrifying. In reality, they squeak instead of meow and fit perfectly inside a coffee mug.
