4. Self-soothing
Cats are believed to also purr to calm themselves when they feel stressed, anxious, or in pain. So why is this effort worth it?
This may be the cat’s way of calming down like a child sucking his thumb to make himself feel better.
Purring is a natural behavior for cats, and it is not usually a cause for concern. However, if a cat is purring excessively or if its purr sounds different, it is important to take the cat to the veterinarian to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
Here are some of the benefits of purring for cats:
Heals bones and wounds
Reduce pain and swelling
Promote healing after an injury or surgery.
It strengthens the bond between a cat and its owner.
Helping to create a calming and relaxing environment.
Purring is a truly fascinating behavior, it is one of the many things that makes cats such special creatures.
