For the record, people claim that cat purring cures things (heals bones, for example). This is not true. There is a published academic paper claiming it, I read it, tldr it’s total garbage.
Interesting, I’ve read / heard that cats heal themselves through purring but even that was just a guess with the next leading theory being that they’ll purr when in pain to comfort themselves.
Yeah, I had heard that too and eventually looked up the research paper and it’s bs, lil. It’s pretty much an academic paper just saying maybe they do and someone should look into it… No actual results. Not the paper fault - media spinned it.
Wait so we actually have no idea why cats purr?
Is it just placebo effect because playing with cats makes people happy?
Everybody knows bones are a dog’s domain
To anyone with back pain: do squats (bodyweight).
Ehh, I could. But it’s gonna cost ya, guv’nor.
