How do you define ‘adorable’?

If you’re a cat lover, you don’t need a dictionary to tell you what cute means. You already know kittens capture the essence of adorable with utter purrfection.

But what is it about kittens that makes them so irresistibly cute? Could it be the tiny toe beans or the itty-bitty noses that need booping? Maybe it’s the big purrs that come from those little bodies or those wispy whiskers? Oh, so many choices of cuteness, there’s no way to decide what the cutest thing about kittens might be.

But, we can all agree that kitten tummies have the power to melt the even the toughest of humans!

So, let’s get silly and look at a whole bunch of kitten belly pictures!

Kitten Bellies!

All the kittens you’ll see here are part of loving foster homes. Check out their pages for adoption info or to find out how to get involved. If you’re not available for fostering cats, volunteers are always needed at animals rescue shelters. And, you can shop iHeartCats.com to help fund food, toys, and blankets for cats in need.
