Can we keep it? PLEEEEASE!
mr.Curmudgeon:
For me, the answer to the cat's purr lies in this fact:
"It seems that the measurable Hertz of a cat's purr lies between 25 and 150. Coincidentally (or not) it has been found that sound frequency in this range can stimulate bone growth and healing."
For an animal that spends up to 2/3rds of it's life sleeping (16hrs per day, in cycles), it's a viable evolutionary trait to promote bone growth and healing while in this "stasis". NASA has even studied the effects of these frequencies (and other variations), on Astronauts, in the hopes of discovering a way to engineer suits that oscillate enough to deter bone and muscle deterioration in space.
As it is now, the astronauts have to spend an inordinate amount of time working out to avoid atrophy.

No animals were harmed in the making of this thread. Let's keep it that way.

All cats kiss your butt until they know they are set. Once it knows it has you hooked, you'll be lucky to be blessed with a fart in your general direction. :laugh2: :laugh2:
