A friend of mine has a baby and he's certainly in that joy category. I guess it shouldn't surprise me because it was essential for the survival of the species, but I'm still surprised that people like babies. Kids can be cute when they're old enough to talk and use the toilet, and even then they're only cute if they're the charming kids-say-the-darnest-things sort and not the tantrum-throwing sort. Meanwhile puppies and kittens are cute from the moment they're born.
(Why do humans babies make such horrible sounds when they need something? A puppy whimpering makes me want to give it whatever it's asking for. A baby crying makes me angry. I suppose the crying is harder to simply ignore.)
I see you haven't had to stimulate a newborn kitten's ass to get it to poop.
I had to do a lot for my dog that could be considered gross in an abstract sense but it never bothered me much. I suppose that was because he was my cute dog and not just because he was a cute dog, but being a cute dog certainly helped. It's notable that I did not feel that same way about my little sister when I was 11 and she was born. She's a great person now but I didn't like helping take care of her even though I didn't have to do it much; I think that's a big reason why I don't have my own children.
