Don't feel sorry for me.  I enjoy watching the squirrels frolic and play, but
unchecked populations here in Warwick RI have caused all manner of problems.  I
don't consider them 'cute', but I do take amusement from their activities -
just as I'm entertained by NASCAR races, but I don't consider any of it cute. 
There's a difference between finding an animal 'cute' and gaining amusement
from it's activities or realizing that it provides a benefit or detriment to
the ecosystem.

Kittens and puppies are cute, oversized rats are not, IMO...

Deer are majestic creatures, and tasty.  However, they also need to be kept in
check when there are no natural predators - just ask anyone on Prudence
Island...
