I dunno... it's always used to describe something cute nowadays, like kittens

No, but find a picture of cute a kitten here on deviantart, scroll through the comments and count the ones that use the word 'adorable'
(And then for comparison you could find a landscape photo and see many 'adorable'-comments you'd find there )

It's just a development of language, words get attached to certain meanings which may not be the original meaning.
Like in Iceland we have the word 'ágætur' which in the Icelandic Sagas meant 'excellent' but today merely means 'all right.'

well i don't think that to count the use of words in devianartm in commentaries is a valid information about how the word is used and what a meaning that has -- sorry to say that

Really? You think they use words very differently here than normally?
