calming

When things are hard, we all go looking for something to calm us down, to help us relax and breathe. That's how a lot of you guys probably ended up here, simply looking for some wholesome, calming pictures, and well, you're definitely in the right place for that.

Thank you to imgur user ARussianAndHisBike for carefully collecting 50 pictures of kitties in the hopes of making everyone calmer. "I like to look at pictures of cats whenever I am feeling angry or frustrated or concerned about a global pandemic to calm myself down," the post says, and we can definitely attest that looking through these cat pics has helped us to take a step back, inhale deeply, and bask in the calmness. 

We come to realize, we all need a break from the media and constant negativity. It causes too much stress and leaves you feeling quite dim inside. That's why we like to balance it out in the best way we know-how. 

Through cats. Cats being ridiculous, cats being hilarious, just cats being cats. 

They say that petting a cat helps relieve anxiety and worries. However, not everyone has a cat that allows that relief so that's why we're posting fifty images of cats. We believe that looking at photos of cats is just as calming as petting one. So, please take a moment to let go of any negative feelings and simply enjoy this collection of cat pics.

Why this random gathering of pictures of cats? For many reasons, actually. It's for you but it's also for us. 

Things have been uncertain this year and it doesn't really seem to be getting all that better. However, do you know what's always great? Cats. Cats just tend to brighten up our day, and the world, a little bit more and we'll take what we can get!

We believe that just looking at images of cats can be as soothing as petting one. So, if at this moment you're feeling stressed about anything at all -- this list is for you. Try to let go, for a moment, and enjoy this simple collection of cats. 

Animals seem to make the world a brighter place, a place where we want to find ourselves in 24/7. 

Thankfully, we have our furry companions to brighten up our days while being cooped up indoors all day... every day. 

Prepare yourself that quarantini (stuck-at-homemade martini) and prepare for some calming (and quite lovely) animal stories we've gathered from this past week. 

We hope it eases any built-up frustration. 

Aleksei Krotov, a vet in Rostov-on-Don, has always dreamed of having a raccoon. When he opened his clinic, he and his wife adopted Yasha, who was found in a very bad condition. After living at their home for a while, he brought her to the clinic. The doctor quickly noticed that Yasha had a real talent for reassuring stressed and sick dogs that came to the clinic to receive treatment. On the other hand, the cats didn't seem to be the biggest fans. The raccoon quickly earned herself a reputation, and now, people come to the clinic just to cuddle and pose with her. She's truly become a local celebrity. For more, follow her page on instagram.
