What is the secret you might ask? A cats purr creates vibrations within a range of 20-140 Hz, known to be medically therapeutic for many illness. Frequencies of 25 and 50 Hz are the best, and 100 Hz and 200Hz are the second best frequencies for promoting bone strength!!

I find information like this very interesting. I guess it must be why I am so in love with cats. I may even be able to use this information to con my partner into getting another cat!  Hmm…in fact, I think I may just turn into the Cat lady! Sounds like a healthy life to me!

I am an animal lover. I love all creatures and have a special connection with cats. I am known as a cat whisperer, as I have never met a cat, that I did not immediately get along with.

    1. Hi Julia – hahaha no of course not. Some cats also do it to calm themselves down when they are feeling stressed. My boy finds getting neck massages amazing so he starts purring hahaha. But, I would have a talk with him, because the caring is a two way street! hahaha

  2. After my main purr-therapist passed away unexpectedly in March, I found an app called Purr to help me get through the toughest grief. It’s not the same, but the frequency and tone is familiar. It helped me through until I opened my home to a new cat 5 months later, who is also a purr-therapist. Our queen purrs very little, which is a little sad.

    1. Oh I am so sorry to hear this. It is the worst experience, one that I know all too well. Thank you for sharing about this app, I didn’t even know that was an option. When I first got my current boy, he didn’t purr a lot either. Now, he is a purring machine. I guess it can take time. I am so glad to hear that you opened your heart to another, their presence makes all the difference.

      1. Our queen is 15, and this is the first year I’ve heard her purr much. It is pretty soft and gravelly. I feel honored that she is going that far! However, we also got a younger kitty who is almost one now, and she is a purring machine. Loving it!
