I'll admit it, watching cat videos makes me smile. They are just so cute and do the most adorable things.

I always go to YouTube and search for adorable cat videos and I'm not alone because a lot of people are obsessed with cat videos and scientists have finally figured out why! 

Scientists at Indiana University have finally figured out why we are obsessed with cat videos. Scientists had people assess their moods before they watched a few cat videos and then assess their moods after.

They found out that after people had watched a few videos, they felt happier, more energetic, more positive, less anxious, and less annoyed. These are similar as to the same results we get from actually being with a cat and petting it. So watching cat videos or actually petting a cat is a mood lifter!

Cat videos get more average views than any other type of videos on YouTube. There were more than two million cat videos uploaded last year, and they got almost 26 billion views. So clearly people love cat videos....so lets watch one and lift up our moods!
