Finally, someone was able to combine the cute kitten picture meme with a CAPTCHA device.

mental_floss Blog - CAPTCHA Variants: KittenAuth

Developed by programmer Oli Warner, the KittenAuth system presents a series of pictures of cute animals, and asks the user to click on all the kittens. Well, thatâ..s the simplest form â.. the current version may ask you to pick out a different animal, so you may have to click on all the pandas or lambs â.. this adds some fun to the game, and presumably prevents spammers from investing all their effort on kitten-detection software.
