Kittens but I hope you don't get a animal just on there "cuteness" Kittens can live up to 20 years and you will have a responibitly for that long. So if you are just getting a animal on cuteness then get a stuffed animal.

There is a HUGE difference between these two animals!
Hamsters are nocturnal and will only want to play with you at night. Many hamsters bite, especially if you wake them up when they want to sleep. Some hamsters are OK as single pets, but others NEED the company of their own kind to be really happy -- you will have to do some research to see what kind 'Button' is. Hamsters live in a cage, which will need cleaning every day. A hamster won't be nearly as affectionate as a kitten.
There is nothing cuter than a kitten! But kittens should stay with their mothers until they are AT LEAST 10 weeks old. They used to believe that taking kittens at 6-8 weeks was OK, but now we know better -- it's taking the world a LONG TIME to learn this, though. So if 'Pretzel' is still very young, try to be patient and let her stay with her mother for a few more weeks.
Kittens make great pets, they are playful and affectionate. Pretzel would be happier if she had a friend, though. Perhaps you could adopt one of her sisters or brothers too?
No matter what type of pet you get, you will need to take really good care of them. Good food, fresh water, clean cage or litter box, lots of toys to play with and you will need to bring them to the vet if they ever get sick. Yes, even hamsters need to see a vet if they are sick!
Have fun with your new pet!

I think kittens are the cutest. Hamsters take way less work, but they also don't play with you as much. Kittens take more work but will be affectionate, and cuddly, and playful. If you think you have time to care for a kitten I would recommend getting one.

Ditto what Zoey said. There's a big responsibility factor with being the caretaker of any other living creature...the kitten will live longer than the hamster (typically) but both require care and attention.

Kitten, since hamsters are unoredictable as far as biting you. If I were you I would chose a Kitten.

Hamsters are very cute but kittens are too...hamsters are cheaper to take care of and easier though

I prefer kittens, but I am not fond of naming animals after food products.
