Have you ever looked at your cat, and they’re giving you great big eyes. You get so excited with their little faces that look just like Puss in Boots. But beware! Fully dilated pupils means attack mode as about to ensue. Keep a watchful eye for those murder mittens.


12. Random Bites

Have you ever been minding your own business, sitting on your laptop, or scrolling through your phone, and your cat comes up and gives it a good bite? Are they trying to get your attention? What exactly are they trying to prove? It might not be the best thing to have puncture wounds on your screen, but it is too cute to punish.


13. Reachy, Reachy

Has your kitty ever reached up and stretched out their paw to you? Regardless of whether they’re doing it as a way to get your attention or because they truly want to connect with you physically, it is such a precious action. Just look at that face!

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make our cat so adorable. Just take a look at this miniature house Panther. He’s all stretched out on the back of a couch looking a little sleepy at his owner. Even though it seems so simple and happens so often, we can’t underestimate how adorable it is when our cats look at us this way.
