It is believed that cats (and other animals like puppies!) are perceieved as cute because their eyes are wider in proportion to their face. This gives them an almost infant-like appearance, making us humans want to care for them as we would our own young.

Beauty / cuteness is extremely subjective, but most domestic cats are amiable towards people, probably because of their long history of domestication and cohabitation with people.
