My guess is that it’s because they’re tiny and murderous.

a lot of foster folks will give names to litters, with each lil one having a name related to the litter name. I’ve seen kitten litters named after the Mythbusters crew, planets, TV shows, and on.

Litters are given names and the individual kittens related names in hope that adopters will see them as a package. Fosterers are endlessly optimistic. Eventually you just call yourself a rescuer.
I tried showing this video to a friend’s cat. They were completely uninterested. (The cat, not the friend.)
oooo if I ever raise another litter, they’re gonna be the boingboing kittens
