WHY DO CATS PURR?

Purring is interpreted as a sign that the cat feels comfortable, but there are other situations where cats purr, such as when they are nursing. Thus, it is said that purring is also a way for the cat to communicate with her kittens. The process of purring in cats is primarily considered a process of communication, of transmitting messages depending on the intensity.

On the one hand, researchers claim that purring is produced by the vibration of blood vessels located in the cat's chest, and on the other hand, some claim that purring is formed when nerves transmit electrical signals that cause the vocal cords to vibrate, and the diaphragm acts as a valve, allowing air to pass over the cords during inhalation and exhalation, thus creating the sound.

It has been discovered that the frequency of cat purring falls within the 27-44 Hz range, and exposure to such a frequency stimulates bone healing and growth. But purring affects not only cats but also the people who live with them. It is known that at such a sound frequency, bone density in humans improves, and purring is considered to have an effect similar to ultrasound treatments
