Feeling a little guilty when you're wasting your time online watching animal videos? Don't worry, because you're not alone. Dogs and cats are the undisputed stars of the Internet, along with music videos. It's estimated that over 15% of all online videos feature dogs and cats. But now you have a good reason to watch them. Science confirms that watching cat videos is beneficial. Don't believe it. We'll explain below. Watching videos of cats and kittens directly affects our emotional well being. Or at least that's what a 2015 study by the Indiana University Media School suggests. With the help of 7,000 people. A previous survey found that 37% of participants were undeniably cat lovers, while 76% admitted to watching animal videos in general, not just cats. The data obtained indicates that most people felt more energized and motivated after watching cat videos. On the other hand, more introverted people stated that it helped them interact electronically with their friends and family by sharing videos online. And while some felt guilty when watching videos at work or school, they were happier when they finished. All of them stated that their productivity increased and that they had a sense of hope and well being. Therefore, the conclusions are that watching cat videos positively influences the emotions and psychological well being of people who see reduced stress thanks to the increase in serotonin levels in the blood. As the researcher herself states, this preliminary study is not enough to determine all the benefits of watching cat videos, but future surveys may clarify whether they could be used as another tool in therapy. Why do we like watching cat Videos? In addition to being cute and friendly, cats are very versatile and expressive animals that surprise us with their wide body language. They are capable of relaxing us, making us laugh, or filling our hearts with tenderness. But the real reason for the surge in cat video views remains a mystery, as only 25% of the people interviewed were cat guardians. YouTube isn't all about cats. YouTube has over 1 billion users, or almost a third of all Internet users. Every day these people watch 1 billion hours of video, typically garnering billions of views of all these views. YouTube statistics show that in 2014, over 2 million cat videos were published, garnering around 26 billion views. Videos featuring our feline friends have more views per video than any other category of content on YouTube, and that's without taking into account the countless shares on other social Networks. However, a 2016 study by YouTube reveals how trends are changing. Statistics tell us that between 2014 and 2016, when comparing dog and cat videos, dogs have received the most views, and it seems that the trend is continuing in this direction, so the future of funny animal videos could end up leaning towards dogs rather than cats.
