There is no real reason for any of these little cuties to be inside their cups, other than it making a good photo. But that doesn’t matter because we are here for the smiles and if there is one thing sure to make people smile it is a cute animal in a cup…

10 – Ducklings
While I am not quackers about ducks (because they hurt when they peck) I will admire that these two brought a smile to my face. But only a little one!

9 – Mouse
“Waiter, there is a mouse in my cup of coffee!” –“Don’t worry sir the cat hiding inside your sandwich will take care of it!” OK, I am not the best with jokes, but a mouse in a teacup can always cheer people up!

8 – Meerkat
Talk about comparing the coffee.com! But this tiny little Meerkat has set his cute phaser to stun and is going on a shooting spree. Did he get you as well as me?!?

7 – Kittens
In some sort of blog twist, this is, in fact, an advert to showcase a well-known coffee brand that people can take with “cream” (or milk as we in the UK call it) or without! But what you also get is some super cute images of cats in cups. (Don’t worry it isn’t Caturday just yet)

6 – Dwarf Rabbits
OK, I have to admit that this blog post is now starting to reach dangerous levels on the “cute-o-meter” and these two sweeter than a 10 shot cappuccino with milk, cream and 40 sugars in it.

5 – Guinea Pigs
OK, now I am starting to feel all strange and funny inside my belly. Maybe I am super hungry and maybe these mega cute Guinea pigs are pushing me over the edge!

This is going too far! That is a whole dog (with a cute, pink bow) inside a coffee mug! Maybe coffee is starting to wade a little and animals in cups are going to win me over.

3 – Koala
Say hello to Raymond. He is one of the cutest little things you are ever likely to see in a cup, you see sadly he was found abandoned by his mother and is now being hand-reared and fed via the little tiny baby bottle you see in the image.

2 – Hedgehog
You’re killing me! A whole tiny little “Micro Hedgehog” inside a coffee mug! Surely nothing can be cuter than a little hedgehog in a mug! But sadly for me, it seems there is….

1 – Pigs
OK, I have to admit it, who needs coffee in the cup when you can have a teacup pig inside of it! These amazingly small pigs are a special breed to be ultra small, but it does have to be said that there are a lot of people out there that have been conned into buying baby pigs that are just the offspring of a full size one, and boy do they end up with a surprise when it grows up!
