Don't you think the world would be a much nicer place if everyone got to play in a pile of kittens every day?

There are certain things on this planet that not even the most cold-hearted people can resist. A hot cup of coffee on a rainy, dreary day, the smell of fresh pizza when you're starving, and playful baby animals. The other two are dependent on the environment or your physical state, but baby animals make us smile no matter where we are or how we feel. We're biologically driven to awww over them. Their big, round eyes and tiny faces, and their high-pitched voices just scream at our pawrental instincts to care for them. This happens to all hoomans for most animals, but for us, it's especially strong with baby kittens.

If I were president, I would make it mandatory for everyone to play with a pile of kittens for at least five minutes every day. Think of how much better your days would be if you had that to look forward to! 5 minutes of pure joy, of happiness and tiny meows (and claws), of holding babies in your hands and getting their sweet kisses in return. You'd have to drag me out of there after 5 minutes because I would never want to leave.

As the weather gets drearier, rainier, and grayer, it's impurrtant to know what you can do to keep your spirits up as everything gets darker. For us, it's scrolling through cute kittens like the ones I've gathered below. Just looking at them is enough to turn the worst day into a wholesomely heartwarming daydream filled with kitty cuteness overload and feline love. With the way the weather is going right now, I might end up scrolling through these cuties every day! But, if that's the worst thing I do all day to make myself feel better, then I think I'm doing pretty okay.

  • There's actually some science to back this whole theory up! That is, if you didn't believe my theory that being around baby animals is guaranteed to make your day at least 73% better.

    A study published in PLOS ONE found that looking at pictures of puppies and kittens did more than just make people “awww” at their screens. The baby animals actually triggered stronger positive emotions and even helped people perform better on tasks that required careful attention. Researchers linked this to something called “baby schema," those giant eyes, round little faces, and oversized heads basically hijack our brains into making us want to protect them.

    Obviously, petting animals is even better. A separate study found that university students who spent just 10 minutes petting cats and dogs had lower cortisol levels afterward. For those of you who don't know, Cortisol is one of the hormones associated with stress, which means that there is now a scientific reason why burying your face in a fluffy cat feels better than answering your emails.

    So if anyone asks why you're looking at these awwdorable kittens, just tell them that it's helping you de-stress and focus more. It's actually true!
