Good news, everyone!
The journal Computers in Human Behavior recently conducted a social media survey about people watching cat videos, and came to some striking conclusions. Respondents reported that they experienced decreased "anxiety, sadness, and annoyance" after watching cat videos. (Duh!)
The study also came to the obvious conclusion that cat lovers and cat owners were more likely to watch cat videos than any other demographic. Less obvious: the most likely type of person to watch a cat video is one who is "shy and agreeable."
The researchers also added that the benefits from watching cat videos might give people the emotional boost they need to tackle more difficult work later. So go ahead and watch those cat videos guilt-free - you're doing yourself a favor!
