There are twelve photos of a pair of kittens and their watchful mother taken at the Cincinnati Zoo.

Cuteness warning applies.

They are adorable. Intersting how like baby cougars the baby Sand cats have spotting and it tickes out as an adult to more of an Aby look.

You can tell they are not domestic but look darn close to it. I'm sure those cats are in our domestic cat gene pool.

Adorable!!!!

They are so cute

They are sooo cute! I'm in love

Awww... Terribly cute. I know they are wild animals and very endangered ones at that, but they greatly resemble domestic kitties.

Awwww, they look like little foxes crossed with cats, how cute!!!

That's just what I was thinking.

So cute! Very foxy like too.

I absolutely love those little eyes and poofy cheeks! I WANT ONE NOW

I was doing some reading up on the Arabian Sand Cat a few minutes ago and they are a small cat- average weight is 6 lbs. It's been a while since Charlotte and Everest were last weighed, but Midnight wasn't much heavier than that. Shadow was almost three times that weight.

They are stunning. Wiki said that the first four kittens born in captivity were being raised in the UAE since 2007. The kittens at the Cincinnati Zoo were born on October 29, 2009.

Awwww, they are so cute! Thanks for sharing.

There's a story about it on http://www.zooborns.com/zooborns/201...nnati-zoo.html as well that has photos and a video.

If anyone needs a daily dosage of cute, then go to zooborns.com - it has baby zoo animals from all over the world, and they are so adorable! There's a baby gibbon story that just got put up in the last day or so, and the video is SO adorable!!!!

I love Sand Cats, they are adorable. I saw the adults there a few years ago, when I was at a convention with the Feline Conservation Federation. The Cincinnati Zoo has a great wildcat selection and an excellent Cheetah program too. Was there to see the running of the Cheetahs, so cool

I think they have those at the zoo out here, they're adorable!

Awwww they are so cute. I want one.

They have that same 'domestic' look in their eyes as our regular domestic cats. Those ears are just soo funny looking, too cute.
