In addition, the mother cat thus communicates with the kittens, and a strong cat makes it clear to the weak that he will not offend. Another reason for purring is complaints of illness and the urge to pity oneself.

British scientists have performed dozens of experiments to find out why cats purr. They determined that the frequency of individual sounds inserted by cats into purrs coincide with those found in the cry of a hungry child. It affects a person on a subconscious level, causing him to want to give everything to his beloved - even the last tidbit of sausage.

They can pronounce vowels, consonants, and even “words.” Depending on how the cats purr, they all, both street ones, accustomed to taking care of themselves on their own, and pampered pets, spending days on soft sofas, understand each other perfectly. But people do not always succeed in this. It happens that a recently ill cat begins to purr for no apparent reason, and the owner calms down, not realizing that the cat is still bad. Unfortunately, it has not yet been precisely established why cats purr in both positive and negative situations. But experts are already able to distinguish between types of purrs and emit soft, rude, inviting, appeasing, appreciative, welcoming and restless. Each species is characterized by different sounds, its components, and different tone of their pronunciation. Having listened carefully, the cat-owner can hear the sounds “mrr-mrr-mrr”, “hmr-hmr”, “mmnngg”, “mr-a-oo-u” and others in purring. Remembering in what situations what exactly their pet says, you can make a kind of dictionary and communicate with the animal more meaningfully.

To produce this sound, cats have special muscles near the vocal cords, which can contract and cause vibration in the hyoid bones. Resonance from vibration and produces a purring sound. Typically, cats do this on inhalation and exhalation. But has nature really rewarded them with such abilities only for communication?
