Soothing video of cats and dominoes is the perfect distraction from coronavirus
Watch Next

As the world hunkers down during the coronavirus pandemic, were all left trying to find some kind of comfort while isolating ourselves from the outside world. With that in mind, a tweet from the user @ziyatong went... well... viral this week, and for good reason. It features truly lovable cats playing with a Rube-Goldbergian domino set-up. We won't spoil all the twists and turns, but one personal favorite moment features a hungry kitty nearly spoiling the entire elaborate thing.

The video, which appears to have originated from the YouTube account Cat Navi Desk, is utterly delightful. And honestly, we could all use a small amount of joy right now.
