Why does my cat purr: Understanding Feline Communication

One of the most enchanting aspects of cats is their purring. While often associated with contentment, purring serves multiple purposes. Cats purr when they are happy, but also when they are frightened, in pain, or healing. The frequency of a cat's purr, between 25 and 150 Hertz, has been shown to promote healing and reduce stress in both cats and humans.

Cats communicate through a variety of vocalizations, body language, and behaviors. A slow blink from a cat is a sign of trust and affection, often referred to as a "kitty kiss." Understanding these subtle cues can enhance the bond between cats and their human companions.
