What’s the name of the mythological creature born from the unlikely union of a kitten and a sloth? According to their creator Rachael Aslett, these hilariously cute creatures are called ‘slittens’
When looking at a slitten, we suddenly feel a mixture of different and contrasty feelings. They are cute, funny, but they are also weirdly uncomfortable to look at. But raise your hand if you wouldn't totally hug them anyway.
If you are interested in this new species, breed with love and a little bit of Photoshop, take a look at Rachael Aslett's Slittens Tumblr here.(https://slittens.tumblr.com/)
Origin:The Slittens Tumblr[1] blog was launched on July 6th, 2014 with several photoshopped images of sloth-kitten hybrids (shown below).he genius mad scientist behind the SLITTENS Tumblr has managed to tap into an artery of bizarre Internet cuteness that we never even knew existed.
People love both kittens and sloths, so this Tumblr blogger decided to give us the best of both worlds by digitally combining them into "slittens."
The cherry on top is the Slittens blog's correspondence with fans. Most of it seems pretty funny, but our favorite is the response when one reader asks whether these digital manipulations are real or fake; "REAL."Visitors can also submit kitten photos, so if you want your kitten to get a facelift, give it a try!More info: Tumblr (h/t: laughingsquid).
Slittens, a portmanteau of the words "sloth" and "kittens", is a single topic blog featuring photographs of kittens with their faces digitally swapped with sloths.
The same day, Redditor DeaconDeath submitted a gallery of slitten photos to the /r/funny[2] subreddit, where it gained over 1,300 votes (81% upvoted) in the first three months. During the first week of October, several news sites highlighted notable examples from the Tumblr blog, including Laughing Squid,[3] The Huffington Post,[4] BuzzFeed[5] and BoingBoing.[6] On October 5th, a Facebook[7] page titled "Slittens" was launched.
