Cats, dogs, bears, owls, weasels. Most of them could seriously injure/kill an average human with minor difficulty and yet we find them adorable?

Does not compute.

    we are configured to find child-like things cute, and they theyre appearance throws a lot of that at us.

    owls have giant, child-like eyeballs. bears have roly-poly bodies…

        Ask Little Red Riding Hood.

        “Why such big teeth?” “To better eat you.”

        I suspect that there’s a relationship between cute and being eaten by the parents of cute.
