Purring: The Scientific Mystery




For some reason, everyone seems to think cats only purr when they're happy. This isn't true. Cats can purr while they're sick, anxious, or basically feeling any strong emotion. Here are some more facts about the mysterious purr:

  • Unconscious cats or cats under anesthesia , for some reason, don't purr.
  • Cats can purr while both inhaling and exhaling. Sadly, us humans can't do that.
  • Kittens can purr and nurse at the same time.
  • Out of all the sounds cats make, purring attracts the most attention and curiosity. 
  • Purr vibrations happen so quickly they cannot be caught on any scientific equipment. 
INFO COMES FROM: PLANET CAT, BY SANDRA CHORON, HARRY CHORON, AND ARDEN MOORE.
