The Holistic Healing Power of Cats

Celebrate Global Cat Day With a Purr

Happy Global Cat Day! In celebration, we want to highlight the holistic health benefits a cat's purr can provide for its human companions.

Cats purr ranges from 25 up to 140 hertz. Studies show that vibrations at 20 to 50 Hz can stimulate bone healing and growth. Fractures heal faster, injured bones strengthen, and stiff joints can move more easily because inflammation decreases.

Purring is the instinctual way cats perform self-care. Studies show a cat’s purr can decrease the symptoms of dyspnoea (difficulty in breathing) in both cats and humans. Children are less likely to develop seasonal or animal allergies when they live with a pet cat because their immune system adjusts to pet dander.

From Health Fitness Revolution:

Owning a cat can help relieve symptoms of stress and anxiety. Cuddling with a beloved pet can release oxytocin, the love chemical, and ease loneliness. Your cat’s purr can create a calming sensation in your body, as well as the kitty’s own body.
