Taking a break with the likes of Lil Bub can make you feel more energetic, less anxious and a little happier than you felt before the video, according to a real scientific study published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior last year.

"Even if they are watching cat videos on YouTube to procrastinate or while they should be working, the emotional payoff may actually help people take on tough tasks afterward, study author Jessica Gall Myrick said at the time.

These findings certainly suggest that anyone can benefit from a dose of cute therapy, even if it's just the virtual kind. Cat people, dog people and general cuteness-loving people are sure to enjoy. Please indulge in the videos below and experience a sturdy surge in your happiness levels.
