I don't think this guy has put much thought into what it is about kittens that makes people love them. I don't think it's because they are small, I think it's because they are curious and playful - qualities that eventually they will grow out of even if their bodies don't grow. It's probably too much to ask this guy to get his head examined, so in the meantime, let's call him Dr. Frankenstein and his fantasy abmoninations, Frankenkitties.
Right. BTW, baby tigers or lions are cute too, even though they're significantly larger than adult cats. As classic saying goes, it's not size that matters...
I'd imagine the difference between frankenkitten and kitten is as between adult dwarf or pigmy and child. Or as between large adult cat and baby tiger.
