OMG, that cat in the Christmas Tree looks so much like one of our cats (and our tree) that DW's eyes got wide when I showed her this pic on my phone. She thought for sure it was a picture I took.

My cat tried to play Guitar Hero with me by reaching towards the fret buttons and digging her claws into my legs. She didn't like the screaming very much.

Interesting, that cat science.

But how do they actually generate the 40 to 140 Hz vibratioans that we describe as purring.

 

[braumeister]

AFAIK, cats (and only cats) have a membrane in the throat region that they can vibrate to produce the sound. In a housecat, it sounds like purring. In a cat the size of a lion, it can be loud enough to be heard as a roar.

The actual mechanism is not well understood at all.

Intersting.

I found a website that theorizes a bit on phenomena. They place the freauency range in he 25 t 50 hz range, which to me is more plausible then the high of 140 hz.

what if the cat purr had therapeutic virtues?

Having a purring cat in close proximity is certainly therapeutic for me.
