19. The cat’s using the toilet again (892 thousand views)
It’s not that cats don’t do this sometimes. In fact, a lot of cats can learn how to use the toilet and some of them even learn how to flush it when they’re through. The cat in this video needs a little more practice, however. When you watch the video, you’ll see that he hasn’t quite mastered the skill. With that being said, he has hopefully mastered the skill of swimming, because unless someone comes and pulls him out of the toilet, that’s exactly what he’s about to be doing.

20. Cats being well…cats (697 thousand views)
This is another good compilation video of cats being themselves. That usually means that they’re doing something they shouldn’t be doing or they’re irritating somebody, whether it’s a human or another animal. Cats just can’t help themselves. Sooner or later, they just can’t help but give in to the tendency to act like cats and start doing all sorts of cat things. More often than not, these things are really funny as long as it’s not happening to you and you can watch it happen to somebody else.
Chances are, you probably don’t really have the time to watch all of the videos on this list, at least not in one sitting. If you do have that much time, it might be time to reevaluate your life, but who’s judging? The point is, watching these videos can really get your day off to a good start. More importantly, they even have the power to reset your day if it’s not exactly going the way you had hoped. In other words, all of these videos are the perfect cure for a case of the Monday blues. Whether you’re having the Monday blues on an actual Monday or any other day of the week, take some time and watch a few cat videos. You know they will have you laughing hysterically in a matter of seconds.
Next time you’re watching funny cat videos and you find yourself laughing like a maniac that might conceivably need to be on medication, don’t worry about being judged by anyone that happens to walk by. Just merely point at the computer screen and let them join in on the laughter as well. If you do this enough times, you can become the antidote to that old saying about misery loving company. Instead, you can have a whole group of people around you and you can all be laughing like you have just heard the best joke you’ve ever heard in your life. After all, laughter is contagious so if you do this often enough, maybe you can help turn a few sourpusses in the world into someone that people don’t run from on site. At the very least, you can have some fun while you’re trying.
Who knows, cats just might be the antidote for all kinds of bad moods, not to mention things like depression and anxiety. If you watch enough of these videos, you’re bound to be laughing so hard that you can’t possibly be anxious or depressed anymore. Is it possible that the cure for such serious things could be as simple as watching a few cat videos every day? The truth is, every individual has to answer that question for themselves, but it’s a good start. Imagine what watching these videos could do for you if you simply need to recharge after a hard day at work or you need a short mental break from something that’s driving you crazy. Maybe if more people spent time watching cat videos instead of cooking up schemes they could use on other people, there might even be more world peace. It’s a nice thought, anyway.
