VIDEO: Non-scientific research shows kitten therapy is the best cure for stress

Dealing with the struggles of everyday life can be stressful. Work and school deadlines, children, relationships could all cause us to want to crawl into a dark cave and never come out.

According to Soul pancake (and Tidy Cats), kittens are the absolute best cure for stress.

In this video, stressed-out people were invited for a free therapy session inside a room made of glass. They were given headphones with the sounds of soothing mediation music and gentle cat purring. As soon as the people heard the cat sounds, they began to relax and smile. Cats were released into the glass room and everyone went into a state of euphoria and began to happily play with the adorable kittens.

“You can’t be stressed after sitting in a box full of kittens, says one of the participants in the experiment. Another person adds: “Being around young creatures just reminds you to take it easy.” This may be true but a few things come to mind about this form of “therapy.”

What If one of the people has a ilurophobia ( the fear of cats)? What if they are allergic to cat dander? Perhaps traumatized by a cat as a child and just hate cats all together!

There are so many points that could be argued about this video, but there’s one thing that nobody can deny about this video: kittens are too cute.
