Cats Help Shield Owners From Heart Attack

All the cats had purr frequencies between 20 Hz and 200 Hz. With the exception of the cheetah, which had frequencies ± 2 Hz from the rest, all the species had frequencies, notably 25 Hz, 50 Hz, 100 Hz, 125 Hz, and 150 Hz, that correspond exactly with the best frequencies determined by the most recent research for bone growth, fracture healing, pain relief, relief of breathlessness, and inflammation. All of the cats' purrs, including the cheetah, had frequencies ±4 Hz from the entire repertoire of low frequencies known to be therapeutic for all of the ailments.

That fact that the cats in this study produced frequencies that have been proven to improve healing time, strength and mobility could explain the purr's natural selection. After a day or night of hunting, purring could be likened to an internal vibrational therapeutic system, a sort of "kitty massage" that would keep muscles and ligaments in prime condition and less prone to injury. Additionally, the purr could strengthen bone, and prevent osteodiseases. Following injury, the purr vibrations would help heal the wound or bone associated with the injury, reduce swelling, and provide a measure of pain relief during the healing process.

That's a long way from the claim made by Lazerus.

There are many theories wrt cats purring, but iirc nothing has been concluded.

If the cats aren't gay communists, they haven't a clue.

I was under the impression that you thought gay and communist were teh same thing.

My son wants a cat or dog. I wonder it children with pets eat more veggies?

[Wezil]

I don't know about eating more veggies but there are plenty of good reasons for children to own pets.

I'm going to get another German Sherpard in a few months.

It's evil looking. Looks like your cat would cause heart attacks.

Cats steal babies breath.

Re: Cats Help Shield Owners From Heart Attack

wonder if LOLcats count?


Ceiling Cat is preventing your heart attacks.

[FrostyBoy]

Owners love their own cat, everyone else hates them, strange but true fact.

Same goes to children.

Your cat looks evil. But healthy, a healthy kind of evil, like Dr Evil

[Wittlich]

Do I have cats?

Of course I do (I'm gay, what else would you expect)???

This is why I have not encountered a stroke or heart attack so far! What a silly question - this is why I have those two "oxygen-thieves" running around in my house in the first place!

But on a side note, I do love them both dearly.
