Slittens is a tumblr dedicated solely to pictures of sloths and kittens combined together to form one majestic baby beast. Similar to the epic Liger featured in one of the most underrated movies of all time, Napoleon Dynamite, the Slitten is a mythical breed hitherto undiscovered in nature.
Slittens are a fantasy hybrid created by superimposing sloth faces onto the body of kittens. Sloths and kittens are both enormously popular animals on the internet, as baby cats have always been adorable and Kristen Bell's birthday meltdown resulted in a meteoric rise in the popularity of sloths. You can also submit your own mashups on tumblr, or just revel in the cuteness that only exists online.
