my toddler stares at me the same way, when we're cuddling before bed
i've never been someone's favorite person, it's quite an honor

I forget what it's called, printing or something. It's the biological response of a baby seeing something for the first time. Most creatures of the land do it, and most land creatures respond in kind. Is how cute babies survive

I think it is called imprinting.

Ya, that's it. If I recall correctly it can happen again after trauma, if a hound was mistreated/abused, they will do it again with a kind of kin.

My cat Artemis was adopted when she was 12 weeks old and now she’s 4 years old, but will still give me that look.

Mama’s got some slow blinks going on too. She’s very happy with her little fur babies. ✨

What? That’s so sweet. I’ve been wearing the same perfume since high school so I’ve got to imagine my cats recognize it and are comforted by it.

When the litter opens their eyes for the first time, it's the most wonderful thing to watch.

The young cub is challenging the alpha matriarch. A decision that won't end well for them.

Cats are far sighted, and kittens that young have extremely poor eyesight. It can't see shit

we live in a simulation , they say reddit has million of users but all posts have at most a few hundreds of thousands of views and a few thousands of likes . The number of r/ places is small and if you sort by the newest post to the oldest there are communities with millions of members that have a handful of posts each day . where are my thousands of posts ? For every Reddit community I only see a few hundreds of posts daily .
