Default Cats can prevent heart attacks

I've been developing a theory that, so far, has worked for me. The
process works like this:
1. Lie down in your recliner.
2. Call your cat and have it jump up on you
3. Get the cat purring
4. Hold the purring cat close to your chest.
The theory is that a cat's purring is at a frequency at which the
vibrations will break up clots in the heart's arteries. Sustain for
at least five minutes and repeat daily with at least one therapy
session a day.

Like all good doctors, lawyers, and TV ads, I must warn you that this
is most effective when combined with weight loss and exercise. Side
effects may include shedding on your clothing. G

Now I'm starting to examine the effect on the carotid arteries caused
by my cat kneading my neck during the purr therapy sessions.

Cheers,
Jerry

My cat and I are very much alike: we're both gray, we're both fat,
and we both dig in his litter box.

Well, I've certainly heard wackier theories!
Don't forget to add, it's been suggested that stroking a purring cat lowers
blood pressure.

Well, I saved this post from a couple of years ago and the comments therein are
amazingly similar to Jerry's theory:

Last night a friend told me of an article he read that said cats' purring is
the same frequency as some ultrasound waves, and that is why cats appear to
heal so quickly, often with minimal or no medical attention. Although the
article didn't say this, he speculated that that's why, statistically,
people with cats are healthier and live longer.

I know that cats sometimes purr when in pain and could never figure out a
reason for this, so maybe there's something to it. Any comments?


here's something I wrote on the subject earlier this year:

Recent research has shown that the purring of cats is a natural
healing mechanism. Wounded cats - wild and domestic - purr because it
helps their bones and organs heal and grow stronger. Exposure to
similar sound frequencies is known to improve bone density in humans.
The scientists, from the Fauna Communications Research Institute in
North Carolina, found that the dominant frequency was between 27Hz and
44Hz for a house cat and 20-50Hz for the puma, ocelot, serval, cheetah
and caracal. This reinforces studies confirming that exposure to
frequencies of 20-50Hz strengthens human bones and helps them to grow.
Apparently almost all cats purr, including lions and cheetahs, but not
for some reason tigers.

oops, while reading my post, it looks like the part at the end is something *I*
wrote. Sorry, it was the OP that wrote it and I didn't use quotes or s
around it.
