WATCH: Kitten therapy to 'paws' your mid-week stress
Feeling stressed? Try kitten therapy.
A video posted on YouTube last week shows just how effective it can be in batting away stress.
The three-minute clip created by Soul Pancake and Purina Tidy Cats begins with people talking about things that put them under mental or emotional strain.
After doing so, they enter a transparent "therapy room".
They are told to relax, close their eyes and listen to the sound of cats purring.
A few seconds later, they open their eyes - only to be surprised by the presence of an adorable kitten.

More and more cuddly felines then stream into the room in a serious case of cuteness overload.
The people in the room begin playing, cuddling and blowing bubbles with the kittens.

"Being around young creatures just reminds you to take it easy," one woman said.
Even passers-by can not resist the allure.
