That ticking noise you might be able to hear is the awwwww-meter pegging.

definitely a sweet, sweet video.
but, with the world the way it is...??? it's surely not all the cuteness i need today.
i require at least 4 panda bears (preferably either sleepy or playful), 7 baby two-toed sloths, a whole mess o' french bulldogs and some baaaaaaaby miniature ponies kicking up their hind legs.
thanks in advance!

It's cute, but it doesn't meet my RDA for cute. Needs more Emmanuel Lewis.

No, I'm sorry. It's not. My need for cuteness is insatiable, dammit.

Cuteness: do you mean British people doing news reports or the small animals?

I think it needs more Emmanuel Levinas or Wyndham Lewis.

This was shown on the local news on Mopther's day, and the capper they showed was footage from here, about 1 minute in. Must see. Leopard changes her spots.

I wonder if those kittens are going to have trouble recognizing DOG = POTENTIAL PREDATOR later in life. I'm not so worried about the dogs thinking CAT = POTENTIAL PLAYMATE since that seems common enough already and normally has sublethal (yet highly entertaining) consequences.

I'm going to swing the other way and say, "too much cuteness." Now go back and start over, chop chop, no time for dillydallying, there's got to be something out there that fulfills my cuteness needs more precisely. (HINT: I like giant trilobites)

Sorry to point out that the leopard that 'fostered' the monkey wandered away after a while, leaving it to die if I recall the (very good) documentary correctly.
Also, am I gonna have to write 'fostered' with the little single quotes for the rest of my life? Why?

This is indeed adorable, but it's actually fairly common with domestic animals. The mothering instinct is extremely powerful and it happens quite a bit with really strange combinations.

Yeah, the infant baboon succumbs to the cold and the leopard goes off to devour its mother. It's actually pretty horrifying if you anthropomorphize it.
I've always been fond of crow and kitten.

Storytime: "When Harry Met Squeaky"
When I was a kid, we rescued a tiny abandoned kitten from our vet, who was going to have to put it to sleep otherwise. At the time, we had a dachsund mama whose last puppy had just been weaned. Great timing for FREE FOODS!
The kitten, Harry, nursed the wiener dog, Squeaky, to great success for a couple of months, and after it was too old, it occasionally grabbed hold just for the sake of nostalgia. They spent all night cuddled up forever.

Ooh, that last one was really adorable Ubu. I really liked the fuzzy little butt. I wonder if I could train it to sit on my shoulder, nuzzle against my chin, and make little chittering noises like my bird does.
Because that would be so freaking cool.

and you could amuse your friends by training it to run up their trouser legs, in return for a reward - like a dead frog, or something.

In regards to Sys Rq's link, although the bit with the hedgehogs is insanely cute, I also find it rather incredibly sad. Four little hedgehogs snuggling up against a silent, unmoving brush makes my heart hurt a little.

6/6:30, you're forgetting that this might be the best thing that's ever happened to a brush. As someone who is in fact, 1/4 hairbrush on my father's side, this is a great day for my people.

Ambrosia Voyeur, that video is amazing! I can't wait for the Disney animated version. (I must say, however, that the leopard showed way more self control than I would have -- that monkey looked delicious!)

Golden Retrievers are lovely. I had one living with me for some years and she became wonderful friends with my kitten, Lizzie. Lizzie was the only one interested in Indiana (the dog)'s nipple but she'd be down there suckling and doing the ol' paw kneading thing for hours. Eventually, she had kittens of her own and one of my great regrets in this most regrettable life is that I never took a photo of Lizzie suckling on Indy whilst all her little kittens suckled on her. It was sooooo keeyoot.
