Shared on TikTok by @snickersthesmilingcat, the video shows a Calico with the most beautiful face. It makes sense that she's called "Smiling Cat" because the patterns on her face make it look like she's smiling all the time.
In the clip, she's sitting down on her mama and just doing the sweetest, happiest purr, looking like she doesn't have a care in the world, and she's purely in love. You can hear her purr in the clip, and Snickers' mom's caption, "This is my therapy," makes so much sense. It's peaceful watching her sit there and just love her mama.

How a Cat's Purr Can Affect Human Stress Levels and Emotional Well-Being
Snickers has the sweetest purr. It would feel impossible to ever be in a bad mood when she's purring during a cuddle. According to experts, a cat's purr can affect human stress levels and boost moods.
InspiraHealth explains that there are surprising health benefits to a cat's purr, not only for the kitty, but also for the people around the pet. The site explains that the frequency of a purr, which ranges from 25 to 150 hertz, can help reduce ailments such as stress, promote healing, and improve circulation. The low-frequency vibrations have also been said to stimulate healing, promote regeneration, and regulate the autonomic nervous system, thereby reducing stress, triggering relaxation, and fostering a sense of balance, calmness, and well-being.
We don't have to get health benefits from our cat's purring to just love the sound of it, though. It's relaxing and rewarding to know that your cat feels happy and safe with you, and that feeling can brighten even the darkest cloud. Thanks, Snickers!
