(CBS) - We turn our attention now to the cutest news you'll likely see all day: video of a low birth weight kitten by the name of Marshmallow. Get ready to "ooh" and "aww" over this little guy.

And for those who are worried about the furry feline (as we here at The Feed were), the video was posted by YouTube user sweetfurx4 who writes:

Marshmallow was born on March 1st with low birth weight (~60% of the normal expected weight at about 66g or 2.3 oz). A month later, Marshy is breaking one pound, about 7 times the birthweight. At this point, we're just thankful that she's made it through the first month. What a blessing she is.

A cute video and happy ending (or beginning) that is sure to make you smile! And be sure to also check out our slideshow below of photos from Mark Ross' book "Animal Shelter Portraits"
