Keep Сalm And Watch Cats
Given all the panic and tense atmosphere in society now, each of us needs to calm down a bit and abstract ourselves! And of course look at cats!
The presence of a cat not only positively affects our well-being, but also helps to cope with everyday difficulties. This was confirmed by 76% of participants in a survey conducted by the Mental Health Foundation research center. Cats distract their owners from gloomy thoughts and cheer them up. In 2016, the Animal Relations Research Institute (HABRI) conducted a similar online survey among 2 thousand people. As a result, 74% of respondents reported improved mental health after communicating with animals. During stroking a cat, the human body begins to intensively produce oxytocin. It is also known as the hormone of tenderness, love and trust. This creates a feeling of calm and reduces tension. But what if you do not have a cat? Do not be upset, because even a regular video viewing with the participation of “fluffy lumps” can fill you with energy and get rid of negative emotions. Top 10 Instagram accounts of cat bloggers.
1. Lil Bub
Lil Bab is one of the most popular cats on the Internet, due to its unusual appearance. Due to a number of genetic mutations, Lil Bab has no teeth, and therefore her tongue always sticks out, and her limbs are too small due to dwarfism. Nevertheless, her owner Mike Bridawski dearly loves his pet, which already has 1.7 million subscribers, and even a documentary was shot about the life of Lil Bab. (iamlilbub)
2. Hamilton The Hipster Cat
Hamilton's cat is justifiably called a hipster - thanks to his color, he got a white mustache, which Hercule Poirot himself would envy. Hamilton was homeless until he was picked up by the owners of the Brooklyn shelter. From there he was taken by Jay Stow, who fell in love with a hipster cat at first sight. Hamilton currently has over 800,000 subscribers. (hamilton_the_hipster_cat)

4. Grumpy Cat
A cat named Tardar Sauce is best known to the world as the Grumpy Cat (or Angry Cat). This pet has 2.4 million followers on Instagram. She became popular in 2012 when her picture was posted on the Reddit forum. Then the users agreed that the expression of the cat's face perfectly expresses gloom and hostility at the same time. According to the owner of the Angry cat, the cause of this unusual effect was congenital dwarfism and malocclusion. (realgrumpycat)
5. Princess Monster Truck
A cat with an exotic name Princess Monster Truck has a malocclusion, which is why its two lower fangs stick out.

7. Matilda
Matilda's cat gained popularity because of its huge eyes, which seem to reflect the cosmos. The owners of the “alien” Matilda say that she was born healthy, but a year later her pupils began to grow disproportionately due to the ectopic lens.

However, 150,000 followers of her Instagram still love Matilda even after she lost her cosmic charm. (aliencatmatilda)
