holding

We all know that there's something special about being held in your mother's arms. It's a unique kind of soft and warm. It makes us feel protected even now that we're older but especially when we were little babies. 

It's the same for animals. For them too, there is something special about being held and carried by mom, whether it's dogs or cats or swans. And since we all feel like we could use a hug right about now, and there's nothing better in the world than a big strong hug from mom, we've brought you some of the most wholesome and sweetest pictures we could find of mother's love in nature in the form of little tiny baby swans getting carried around and being sheltered by their mommas. 

You daily dose of cuteness coming right up! And what's cuter than little widdle kittens held right in the very palms of your hands? Soft kittens with tails that are tiny and fluffy, eyes round and huge, ears that they've yet to grow into, and the enormous amount of trust and love that they must have for you to allow you to hold them in that way. It may be something tiny in your hand, but to you, it's like holding the whole entire world. And in that moment, you're the entire world to them too.

So, have your stomach flutter with butterflies and your lips tremble with adoration, and let these little kittens fill your heart as well as your palms. And if you want more tiny cuteness, we have a list of illegally small kittens for you to check out.
