Cats purr to express contentment and relaxation, like when they’re being petted. Purring can also be a self-soothing mechanism for stress or pain, and some research suggests it may promote healing and bone growth due to its specific frequency.
Cats purr for various reasons: to express contentment, self-soothe when stressed or in pain, and even to communicate with humans or other cats. It’s a versatile behavior that offers both therapeutic benefits and social bonding.
