The video was created by the website and creative agency SoulPancake in partnership with Purina Tidy Cats. “One day over summer, we posted up right next to the Los Angeles Courthouse in the heart of downtown LA — it seemed like a reliable place to find stressed out people,” the video’s press lead, Lindsay Indermill, told Yahoo Health. “When our unsuspecting ‘patients’ took off their shoes and entered the room, their stress was palatable. These people were all under intense pressure, whether they had just come out of court or were caring for young children alone.”

 

The looks on their faces as kittens "sneak" into the room is priceless.

I hate cats. But this made me smile.

I bet it would have had an opposite affect if a mountain lion came out of one of those doors. :sarcastic:

Not if it was a tiny kitten.  :D

A very small zoo we visited was raising an orphaned mountain lion, it loved to play.  We got to play with it for 3-4 hours before it wanted a nap.

Sorry. A full-sized, starved mountain lion. :snicker:

At that point, it is not a meditation test, but an experiment of how much adrenaline the body can produce in about 5 seconds.  :D

Yes, safe to say our nervous systems have a wide variety of usually appropriate (at least evolutionarily speaking), contingency based responses.
