1. Impossibly c-u-t-e
And of course you are going to give us an eye witness report of the incredible cuteness when you see them, right?

A few years ago I saw a bunch of baby snow leopards at my zoo. They are so cute it's almost disgusting. I mean it is unbelievble how darling they were.

2. Oh, so wonderfully cute!
I had heard someplace that zoos try not to breed the big cats too much. It's nice to see some of the little guys.

I know in the case of Cheetahs(I know they aren't technically big cats), only a very few have been bred in captivity successfully.
