cute is tiny and tactile

It’s something you want to touch or hold in your hands, even if it’s only an image on a screen.

It can be because you think the texture feels pleasant, or, if it’s a living thing, the feeling of holding something delicate in your hands you have to be mindful of.

Good examples:

• Baby animals, felines
• Small reptiles and amphibians
• Some insects, crustaceans and arachnids
• Miniature items
• Simple toys and board games
• Fashion accessories
