[Finals are no fun. So this week Multimedia Producer Andy Heriaud is compiling the cutest videos he can find on Youtube for your enjoyment.]

It is an empirically proven fact that everyone loves kittens: they are adorable, they snuggle with you, they act strange and they make funny noises. They are scientifically designed to burrow their way into our hearts (and our pockets, if they’re small enough). Here are the very best videos of kittens. Many cute videos after the jump.

1. Lion cubs!

Warning: there’s this part where the cuteness is interrupted by this boring old guy who talks about depressing things in a South African accent, just ignore him until the kitties come back.

2. Munchkin kitten!

This video contains a munchkin kitten. For those of you who don’t know, munchkin cats are a breed that have disproportionately small legs compared to the rest of their bodies. They also gallop when they run.

3. Kitties in the future!

Like the “Logan’s Run” of kitten videos, what a bleak adorable future we have to look forward to.

4. A valiant rescue!

The most satisfying dramatic arc in all of kittendom.

5. Climbing kittens!

There are no words for this one.

6. A gross abuse of power.

This actually has very little to do with anything, I’m just exploiting my position.
