Cats' Facinating Facts

Cats purr at around 26 cycles per second, the same frequency as am idling diesel engine. A cat's purr may be able to heal bone fractures, increase bone density and control pain. Scientists discovered that vibrations between 10-140Hz aid bone growth and help heal fractures, torn muscles and ligaments, reduce swelling and relieve pain. A cat's purr not only matches this vibration, but its dominant frequencies are 25-50Hz - the optimum frequencies for bone growth and fracture healing.
