D'awwwww:) snuggly kitties are snuggly.

[–]tinyirishgirl 6 points7 points ago

So right! And everybody needs someone to make things all better even when we're asleep.

[–]Frigguggi 100 points101 points ago

Is it me, or does this get blurrier every time it's reposted?

[–]shysqueaker 60 points61 points ago

every time you repost, a kitten loses its focus!

[–]pgrily 9 points10 points ago

Is it me, or does this comment get blurrier every time it's reposted?

[–]alittler 1 point2 points ago

It's happy hour somewhere in the world

[–]Andythefan 8 points9 points ago

I don't understand reddit. Sometimes when something is reposted someone calls out OP. Everyone then downvotes the whistleblower, and then cites reddiquete: "Don't complain about reposts" End of Story.

But sometimes when something is reposted, everyone complains about reposts, and it's suddenly okay? Whatever happened to not complaining about reposts? Surely someone hasn't seen it at this point?

[–]BoojiBoy 22 points23 points ago

Even his comment is a repost.

[–]DuckSake -2 points-1 points ago

Upvote for you! Only because it's your cake day though

[–]fireballtr 0 points1 point ago

It has to do with how recently it was posted before, the more recently people have seen it, the more complaints you get, and the more the hive mind will move towards shutting down your post with comments of boo reposts.

[–]weirdball 0 points1 point ago

if the op is still kinda recent (thus a lot of people still haven't seen it) its still ok to repost.

[–]FattyMcPatty 0 points1 point ago

I have a similar complaing. You how we have a rule stating that you shouldn't downvote based on your opinion, but based on whether or not you believe a post contributes to the conversation, or is in any way relevant to the sub or thread its posted in.

Then when people don't follow this rule, and they get called on it, someone comes in with the "don't complain about downvotes" rule, which I'm rather certain is about complaining about downvotes on your post, rather than complaining about their misuse, yet nobody seems to gets that.

[–]TheActualAWdeV 3 points4 points ago

Probably a repost, yes, but damn if it isn't adorable.

[–]Swampfoot 1 point2 points ago

Another thing that seems to happen is that the frame gets tighter and tighter, cutting off more and more of the outer part of the image.

I assume this is due to frantic re-cropping to get rid of numerous watermarks people have put on the periphery.

[–]The_Vortex 0 points1 point ago

Well, I think the main thing about reposts is half of the time the OP title is pretty much claiming ownership over the picture, ie: this is my new cat Ect Ect

[–]prandt 33 points34 points ago

There are some things I do not mind if they are reposted multiple times. This is one of those things.

[–]caithsolasar 6 points7 points ago

Exactly what i came here to say. This is the most adorable gif i've ever seen.

[–]ItsSoBeautiful 4 points5 points ago

It's always the kitten's lip smack at the end.

Like, "Yup. Dat's da stuf."

[–]diabolotry 1 point2 points ago

I know. I d'aaawwww at it for ten minutes every time.

[–]animalcule 9 points10 points ago

Seriously, I can't help but melt every time I see this posted. I mean, look what it's got:

  1. baby kitten
  2. momma cat
  3. baby kitten waving adorable baby kitten paws
  4. hugs
  5. cuddles
  6. sleepy baby kitten

I MEAN SERIOUSLY I CAN'T STAND THE CUTENESS

[–]noreallyimthepope 0 points1 point ago

My two kids (3 years and 7 months, respectively) are like this. So heartwarming.

[–]thebowlofpetunias 8 points9 points ago

[–]picado 22 points23 points ago

It's even more awwesome than it looks. The kitten isn't having a nightmare, that's a happy kitten suckling in her sleep -- open mouth and pawing. She's dreaming of mommy, and mommy loves her just as much.

[–]FrostByte122 5 points6 points ago

I didn't know what awww meant until now. Thank you for making me want a cat. I never did, but this is a game changer.

[–]askull100 4 points5 points ago

I have to stop watching this, in fear I may grow a uterus.

[–]IsThisAmerica 39 points40 points ago

lik dis if u cry evertim

[–]foxh8er 2 points3 points ago

Can someone tell me where the hell that came from?

[–]berlinbaer 5 points6 points ago

youtube 'contest' to come up with the dumbest comment possible. of course reddit is now riding it into the ground like always.

[–]Nigramagic 7 points8 points ago

mkes me cri 5evr bcuz 5evr is mor thn 4evr

[–]shibalover19 4 points5 points ago

I love it!

[–]PuffBear 2 points3 points ago

Just Precious!

[–]lolo12301 2 points3 points ago

awe! thats the sweetest thing! :D

[–]Asdwolf 3 points4 points ago

This is a repost and I don't even care. Thank you.

[–]borkedddd 17 points18 points ago

[–]AlmostAnOctopus 17 points18 points ago

Some things need to be reposted 32 times.

[–]KambioN 4 points5 points ago

hahah, this and that Raccoon carrying a cat.

[–]BraedonB 2 points3 points ago

link? I haven't seen it yet

[–]cattnack 0 points1 point ago

This is the first time I've seen it...and I'm SO glad I did!

[–]rule_27 5 points6 points ago

I don't care how many times this has been reposted. I will upvote it every damn time I see it, because it is just that damn cute.

[–]OneSalientOversight 12 points13 points ago

Probably a repost of a repost. But who cares?

[–]elruary 15 points16 points ago

This is the probably the most reposted repost of reposts, but yes who gives a flying fuck.

[–]grafkn 2 points3 points ago

My thoughts exactly. Upon seeing the gif, which I've never seen before, the thought runs through my head saying this is probably a repost, but then my chest begins to burn and eyes moisten and I think, who cares. This is the best repost yet!

[–]Mysterious_Stranger7 0 points1 point ago

Repost or not, it never fails to force me to go hug my cat.

[–]ilovecherries 2 points3 points ago

[–]m0nk37 3 points4 points ago

"kitty is awake" 1) disable claw paws. 2) Wrench arm to disable swing. 3) Hold tightly to choke hold the little guy. 4) Snuggle.

[–]shalafi71 2 points3 points ago

You sound like Downey's Sherlock calculating how to kick someone's ass in your head.

[–]ERMAGERD_CERMAHNTS -1 points0 points ago

ERMAHGERD ERTS SER ERDERERBL

[–]TheWalrusWizard 4 points5 points ago

No.

[–]ERMAGERD_CERMAHNTS 0 points1 point ago

In all seriousness this novelty was made for a joke. Then I decided to be a cunt.

[–]skytiger859 1 point2 points ago

I showed my friend the YouTube version of this and she wanted a cat immediately afterward. She got one, too.

[–]GabyKnows 1 point2 points ago

uuuuuu, lovley! You get an up from me!

[–]LilMerm8 0 points1 point ago

[–]ojsimpsonn 0 points1 point ago

repost of all reposts... but thats ok

[–]rnally 1 point2 points ago

Every damn time this gets reposted I upvote it. Dammit reddit.

[–]gutzz 0 points1 point ago

dam mabie cutest thing i have ever seen wow

[–]kendalrobyn -1 points0 points ago

In all honesty this makes me cringe! I love cats and the hug is cute but the kittens neck gets bent a little too much for me ...

[–]MushroomGas 2 points3 points ago

Plot twist: Cats really are heartless bastards and the big one is trying to snap the kittens neck to get it to shut up

[–]shesavestheday -1 points0 points ago

awwww'mygod. I didn't think cats had hearts or souls. Proved me wrong.

[–]NumbersMakeMeHorny 0 points1 point ago

You might want to see a doctor about that condition. How you're even still alive baffles medical science.

[–]NakedPancake 0 points1 point ago

I think I've seen this Gif the most out of all reposts.

[–]evrlstingbogstopper 0 points1 point ago

My fart smelt every time I see this

[–]Gratlofatic 0 points1 point ago

My cat was doing this to me last night nonstop. It was really cute. She's 13

[–]Obversaria 0 points1 point ago

My brain my just explode from too much cuteness.

[–]scribbling_des 0 points1 point ago

Is it a repost? Yes. Do I care? Not a bit. I love this one and I will love it just as much every time it is posted.

[–]disfordixie 0 points1 point ago
