Do you find baby animals more cute than baby humans?

[rumguy]

To me a kitten or puppy is way more cute than a baby human. Isn't this kind of odd? After all, the whole point of babies being cute is so parents take care of them....

1. totally

I'll acknowledge a baby, but I'll go gaga for a puppy or kitty.

2. Babies are very cute

Kittens are cuter, and puppies are....well, you shouldn't even have to ask. Puppies are God's answer to cynics.

3. Yep

and I've HAD a human baby. Kittens and puppies are WAY cuter and TONS more fun (in fact, most babies aren't fun at all).

That being said, I thought my own human baby was adorable but for the most part, I'm not a baby person. Give me a big soft cuddly puppy with puppy breath anyday!

7. but isn't it kind of strange that a mother

would find the baby of another species cuter than her own? I'm talking strictly from an evolutionary point of view here - cuz that's the whole reason nature made babies cute - so we would be awed and fascinated by them and take care of them.

4. Definitely.

I guess I'm not a breeder...I've always thought human babies were ugly and annoying. :( I don't want to feel that way, but I do.

11. Other people's kids are ugly and annoying

but not your own -- till they get older, anyway! :D

I had four of them!

5. Yes.

I think it's the fur. Baby humans look all wrinkly and weird. Fur would help immeasurably.

6. Plus they are NO fun

they just barf and spit up and make strange noises and stink and drool. Ick.

8. Kittens really aren't that cute

when they are first born. More like little mice. But they get adorable by about 3-4 weeks, after there eyes are open. There heads are so round and their eyes are disproportionately large for their head.

I was just thinking they other day that our kittens were cuter than babies, but then I realized I was comparing 5 week old kittens with newborn babies, which are very rarely at their most beautiful. When I remembered how precious babies get at around 2 months old, I think that blew a hole in my earlier theory.

9. I'm biased of course

but my baby is pretty damn cute.

12. You're right about that!

What a sweetie! Great photos! Thanks!

14. very cute

[EnfantTerrible]

15. Come on man

this is my KID... what am I gonna say?
(thinking)
Well... she can't read yet, so...
(thinking)
But her mother can...


Puppies run a very very close second... tied with kittens.

10. Not only are they cuter

But they're much lower maintenance too!

Show 'em where the food and water dish are, and they'll take care of the eating and drinking on their own.

No soiled diapers to change either!

13. i concur totally

animals grow up quicker, they ain't so noisy. and heck, they are cheeper.

[ogradda]

16. too me babies of almost any kind are cute

as long as i don't have to care for them!

[undergroundpanther]

17. Babies are gross

Kittens are far,far cuter than human babies.Pups a second,
Young animals(at certain ages) in general are cuter than babies,,and they are lucky they don't grow up to be miserable ugly forever humans!!
Human babies are as cute as baby cutgrass grubs,slugs or maybe baby roaches!
