Answer 3

Although we assume that a cat’s purr is an expression of pleasure or is a means of communication with its young, perhaps the reasons for purring can be deciphered from the more stressful moments in a cat’s life. Cats often purr while under duress, such as during a visit to the veterinarian or when recovering from injury. Thus, not all purring cats appear to be content or pleased with their current circumstances. This riddle has lead researchers to investigate how cats purr, which is also still under debate.
Scientists have demonstrated that cats produce the purr through intermittent signaling of the laryngeal and diaphragmatic muscles. Cats purr during both inhalation and exhalation with a consistent pattern and frequency between 25 and 150 Hertz. Various investigators have shown that sound frequencies in this range can improve bone density and promote healing.

This association between the frequencies of cats' purrs and improved healing of bones and muscles may provide help for some humans. Bone density loss and muscle atrophy is a serious concern for astronauts during extended periods at zero gravity. Their musculo-skeletal systems do not experience the normal stresses of physical activity, including routine standing or sitting, which requires strength for posture control.


Because cats have adapted to conserve energy via long periods of rest and sleep, it is possible that purring is a low energy mechanism that stimulates muscles and bones without a lot of energy. The durability of the cat has facilitated the notion that cats have "nine lives" and a common veterinary legend holds that cats are able to reassemble their bones when placed in the same room with all their parts. Purring may provide a basis for this feline mythology. The domestication and breeding of fancy cats occurred relatively recently compared to other pets and domesticated species, thus cats do not display as many muscle and bone abnormalities as their more strongly selected carnivore relative, the domestic dog. Perhaps cats' purring helps alleviate the dysplasia or osteoporotic conditions that are more common in their canid cousins. Although it is tempting to state that cats purr because they are happy, it is more plausible that cat purring is a means of communication and a potential source of self-healing.

Answer 4

You can't stop them from purring. They do it when they feel good and when they feel bad. Maybe you need to find a new home for the cat so you can be the only thing that owns the place.

Answer 5

Why would you want to do that? A purring cat means they are happy. If it's annoying give it away to someone who will love it. Can't find no one? Stuff cotton balls in your ears. It works. I've tried it when i don't want to listen to something or someone.
Good Luck.

Answer 6

Answer 8

You let that cat up in the first place. If you don't want it, knock him off your lap. Make the cat's desire to sit on you go away. Hell, if you knock me off a few times, I'll get the message. Oh, BTW, HE DOES OWN THE PLACE. I'll bet all he has to do is show up and everything is handed to him, as if on a silver platter. I'm not wrong; AM I? HA!

Answer 9

Why would you want to stop your cat from purring? That's one of their most charming & endearing features. If you want a pet that doesn't make any noise, buy a Pet Rock.

Answer 10

It's got nothing to do with owning the place - they're just happy!!! Cats purr and dogs wag their tails live with it - if you don't like animals why did you get one in the first place!!! Give your cat to someone who cares!!!

Answer 11

Maybe you should find him a good home and choose a different kind of pet? Cats purr. It's part of their natural makeup. You can't do a thing about it that isn't cruel.
