The Biology of Squee

Jerry Coyne explains the evolution of adorable, and reminds us that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, in a truly excellent post - complete with squee.  I commend it to your attention.  While you're distracted, I'm going to sneak off to bed with my extremely adorable kitteh.

That is, if I can extract her from the tissue paper she's currently bunking on.  Maybe Jerry should look into the evolution of the feline attraction to all things made of wood pulp...
