Too Cute
An Animal Planet series focused on baby animals in all their cuteness. Most episodes feature three litters of either Cute Kittens or Precious Puppies for the first ten to twelve weeks of their lives, showcasing various milestones while being as adorable as possible.
Tropes used in Too Cute include:
- Adorkable: Winston the Bengal kitten.
- Big Eater: Eleanor the Bengal kitten. To be fair, she is the biggest in Madeline's litter.
- Ruby and Oreo's 3 daughters, Ruby Jr., Kyra, and Lola all eat out of their parents' bowl of kibble. Oreo wants to know what's going on at the time.
- Sierra and Sabu's kittens, and the Tonkinese kitten brothers Muffin and Cookie.
- Chocolate Baby: Siberians Solomeya and Maksim are both white-furred, but their litter is filled with black kittens... just like the handsome tom next door.
- Content Warnings: This program contains content that is just too cute. Viewer discretion is advised.
