I just wonder why some of us react to animals or other perceived 'cute' things this way.
What is it in our programming that makes us react this way?
It's like there's a high that happens.

Some kind of release of a 'happy' chemical.
That's why I always recommend chronic sad sacks who are all obsessed with themselves and can't get out of the self-imposed pit of despair go and work with animals. Focusing on something other than themselves, and something cute and innocent like animals will cause a release.
