Purr is one of the most specific things about cats. Unlike mummy or bumpy tail, however, we are much less familiar with it. That's why - that's what the cats actually do with their purr.

Happiness


Maybe most often, cats swear when they are in their happy condition. For example, they lie down in the sun, their eyes are half closed, and the tail is almost immobile. This is a moment of total peace and happiness. This feeling cats transmit with purring.

Hungry


Many cats start to purr when their eating time approaches. A British study found that the sounds that cats give when they are hungry are slightly different from their usual purring. All the more so that they combine it with a stronger mummy. According to specialists, this was their version of childish crying. The relationship with the little kittens can swallow even when they are only a few days away. It is believed that with this they can calm the mother that they are good and everything is fine. At the same time, the mother uses it as a lullaby for her little kittens.

Pain


Cats purring, even when it hurts - when they get hurt or sick. It sounds strange, but it is believed that in this way they help to heal faster. Studies have shown that cats sweating can help them recover faster. Fatigue speeds up the process of bone consolidation, reduces pain in the muscles, facilitates breathing

I also read cats only meow to humans to gain out attention. This sound they do not use to communicate with other cats!
