Cute

Large stretches of the United States have been facing unpleasant heat in recent weeks, so many of us are thinking icy thoughts.

Cuteness HQ is pleased to present, for your Friday viewing pleasure, some clips of one of the world's most charming rodents.

This week, a couple of our lovely readers mentioned in Discord that scritches are the best.

Being human is an experience that, for all the times it's amazing, can other times feel absolutely awful because it seems like a string of one moment after another where you just want to scream because it's all so infuriating and it just doesn't stop being infuriating and when will the chaos stop?

Australia is home to many critters with big eyes and/or big ears.

Fun fact: Otters actually hold hands to make sure they don't float away from each other while they're sleeping.

Although you will be reading this post on Friday, I am writing it on Monday because I'll be taking a bit of a vacation.

We at Cuteness HQ have been having a pretty intense couple of weeks, so we're really, really ready for a chance to relax.

Horses come in all shapes and sizes, but all of those shapes and sizes are pretty delightful.

Bunnies have it going on.
