kittens
Fuzzy young felines
Kittens are young cats, typically under a year old.
The word extends to the young of some related animals.
As a mild exclamation, oh, kittens! expresses surprise or dismay without profanity.
To have kittens is to become extremely upset or anxious: Mom's going to have kittens when she sees this mess.
