Between the pictures of your friends having fun without you and the barrage of creepily specific ads, who even wants to scroll through Instagram anymore? But among the Boomerangs and #foodporn, here's the wholesome escape from reality: Sarper Duman's piano videos.
The Istanbul-based musician and animal rescuer is the proud father of 19 (yes 19) cats. His videos of himself playing soothing piano compositions while his cats lounge on his keyboard will cure whatever stress you have.
He plays around his cats, letting them dictate what notes he hits. His cats clearly love him back — they'll interrupt his recording sessions with affectionate head rubs.
Look at all of this love! Look at the way his cats look at him!
The cats are tiny balls of pure love.
And you can see how much Duman loves his cats, too. He kicks off his videos with a good cuddle session.
Sometimes he incorporates his feline children in his compositions.
In addition to his 19 cats, Duman also takes in stray kittens and nurses them back to health. Then, he adopts them out to loving forever homes.
The next time you have a stressful day, pop on some headphones and watch Sarper Duman soothe your soul with music and kittens.
