YOUR CAT MAY HEAL YOU

A purring cat is not necessarily a happy one.
Many species-including cheetahs and some lions also purr when wounded or anxious.
Some researchers speculate that this lovely rumble may serve a function to heal fractures
and strengthen bones.
In a study from the Fauna Communications Research Institute in Hillsborough N.C. investigators
determined that the frequency at which many cats purr, between 27 and 44 hertz for house cats,
matches the frequency that seems to help human bones strengthen and grow.
If correct, the theory may explain why cats heal so quickly after injury.
