I once read that the parts of the brain responsible for regulating "aww" and "aggression" are connected and may misfire when feelings are strong.

So if you find something or someone incredibly cute or adorable, you may be consciously or subconsciously resisting the urge to destroy it/them.

Yeah that's called cute aggression.
