There's a thing called the "Kindchenschema"(children's schema) which makes humans perceive other creatures such as babies as "vulnerable and in need of protection" aka "cute". It's an instinct that a lot of mammals have, it encourages them to take good care of their and sometimes not only their own youngs to ensure the survival of the species.

Characteristics of the Kindchenschema are:

-Small body with relatively short limbs

-A big head compared to the body

-A big forehead

-Big eyes

-Big hands and cheeks

So yeah, that's the scientific explanation on why Tails is so adorable. That's how nature and SEGA manipulate us, folks.
