Cats Purr at Healing Frequencies
Your cat’s purrs aren’t random. Studies show cats purr at frequencies between 25-150 Hz, which can reduce stress and lower your heart rate. When you’re anxious, cats often increase their purring and position themselves closer to you. This sound therapy isn’t just comforting; it has actual physical benefits. Your cat instinctively knows when you need this sonic medicine the most. The Journal of Feline Medicine connected these vibrations to improved healing and relaxation in humans.
