What's So Cute

I just saw an ad on TV for some toilet tissue, and it's the one with the really cute dog.

What is it that makes us think something is cute? I can understand the evolutionary principles behind finding someone attractive, we look for signals in members of the opposite sex that they will produce good off-spring, simple. But why do we look at certain animals and find them cute? I don't see how that would benefit the caveman.

Have a look at some cute pets and see how you feel inside. For example, there's a Cutest Pet Contest at BringYourPet.com where people can fill in the contest registration form and email a photo of their pet before April 30, and be in with a chance of winning $200.

Go and have a look, and if you don't find them cute, there's something wrong with you (but you'd make a great caveman).
