About Soft & Cuddly
Something about a newborn animal, the way it wobbles on new legs, the way it fits so easily in cupped hands, quiets a room. A duckling fresh from the egg is covered in down so fine it barely looks real, while a kitten's first purr is less a sound than a tiny vibration felt through the palm. Lambs call out in bright little bleats, chicks peep from pockets of straw, and a baby bunny, tucked against its littermates, is almost too soft to be believed.
