So the next time you get busted by your boss cooing at Boo the Pomeranian, you can quote a just-published study out of Japan, that found looking at cute images of baby animals can actually make you more productive at work.
Researchers at Hiroshima University had students complete a series of work-like tasks, reportsGawker. During breaks, the participants were shown photos of either baby animals, adult animals, or delicious foods. Those who were shown the cute baby animals out-performed those who were shown the food or grown-up animals by a significant margin.

Little kitten is soooo cute.. looks like my Belle.. Thanks for the photo as I adopted Belle when she was 6 months old. I now can see her teeny kitten self in the photo. 😀
Aww…it’s a photo I got from the Net. I’m glad it brings back sweet memories of Belle for you.
