Scientifically Proven Cute Kitties to Scroll That Are Sure to Brighten Your Day

You don't need a scientific study to know that cats are cute. Their whiskers, fur, and adorable meows all coalesce together in a aggregation of cuteness. Imagine taking a pile of kittens to the lab, putting their paws under microscopes, and looking at their fur in petri dishes. Studies on the "cuteness effect" have even shown that looking at adorable animals can lower stress levels, boost mood, and sharpen focus. It's practically science!

Think of this collection of cute kitties as your own little experiment on your mood. Hypothesis: scrolling through pictures of adorable fur balls will brighten your day. Method: grab your phone, sip your coffee, and start scrolling. Observation: you'll find your shoulders relaxing and maybe even catch yourself giggling. Conclusion: kitties work better than coffee for an instant serotonin and dopamine boost.

So while the world of science grapples with big questions about the universe, you can rest assured that one thing is absolutely, empirically true: cute cats are good for the human soul.
