NORTH AUSTIN, TX —Each year, new studies emerge about the dangers associated with increased stress levels. Research tells us that stress poses dangers to not only ones physical well-being, but also disrupts a persons emotional and mental health. The National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH) suggests ways to manage stress, including recognizing how your body responds to stress, talking to a health care provider on proper health care, and getting regular exercise.

While the pace of life gets busier and more hectic, there are also more alternatives to counter the negative effects of stress on our daily lives. Perhaps one of the more surprising way researchers how found to manage or eliminate stress is the idea that online cat media improves mood and is shown to offer significant emotional benefits to the viewer(s).

Sky Cinemas in Austin invites the community to take part in experiencing the appeal of online cat media with its CatVideoFest -" a compilation reel of the latest and best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos, and, of course, classic internet powerhouses." CatVideoFest hosts events throughout the country, and offers a positive community experience in a theater setting, and partners with local cat charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters to raise funds to assist cats in need.
