Cat lovers must be familiar with the purring sound of cats, right? Some cats have very strong motors and can purr loudly; some cats are very reserved and even purr quietly. In the impression of most of us, a cat purring means that it is comfortable and at ease, and it is a way of showing coquettishness to its owner. But, a cat’s purring can also be subdivided into several different meanings! Come and see what they are!

The purring of a kitten

When kittens are born, their eyes have not yet opened. The mother cat purrs in order to make the kittens feel safe and guide them to the correct position to drink from their mother. Kittens will also purr on their own 2 to 3 days after they are born, purring in chorus with their mother cats. The kitten's purring is also asking its mother: "I'm hungry", "Let's play together", "touch me, touch me", etc. When faced with the owner who takes over the role of the cat mother, the kitten will purr in a higher pitch and brisk rhythm to express its request.

Snoring with satisfaction and happiness

Cats will purr in a medium-pitched sound when they feel at ease and stable. Cats' sleep time seems to be very long, but in fact, most adult cats cannot sleep deeply when they sleep. Even if they appear to be asleep, most of the time they are nervous. The receiving function is still awake. Some owners will have the experience that the cat seems to be asleep, but when they are close to it, it will suddenly purr. The purring at this time is not meant for anyone in particular. It is a bit like the cat talking to itself, which means that the cat feels at ease and happy when its owner is close.

Comforting and healing snore

When their owners feel uncomfortable, injured, or even in a bad mood, feel lonely or uneasy, some cats will approach their owners and purr, as if they are comforting them. We don’t know what the cat is feeling at this time, but the cat’s purring does have the effect of stabilizing the heartbeat and soothing the mood. Perhaps the cat also knows this and approaches the injured owner, wanting to give him comfort!

Snoring to soothe your emotions

After a cat is frightened or nervous, in order to soothe itself and relax its mood, it will lick its body and purr at the same time. Use this action to relax yourself.

Snoring due to physical discomfort

Cats will also purr when they are injured or seriously ill. The frequency of cat purring is between 25 and 50 Hz, which has been proven to improve cats’ bone density and body recovery. Therefore, when cats are sick, theyPurring means that the cat wants to improve its self-healing ability so that its body can get better quickly.
