Abstrakt: This article explores the phenomenon of cats purring and its potential healing properties. The author explains that cats purr not only when they are happy, but also when they are frightened, hurt, or dying. Scientists have discovered that the vibrations created by a cat's purr can help stimulate bone growth and increase muscle and ligament strength. This has led to the hypothesis that purring may be a natural healing mechanism for cats. The article also discusses how low-frequency vibrations have been found to increase bone density in sheep, turkeys, and rats, suggesting that similar vibrations from a purring cat could have similar effects on humans.
