Cats purr when they're happy… right?
Not always.
In this episode of Why Stuff Happens, we explore the surprisingly complicated science behind one of the most familiar sounds in the animal world. How does a cat actually produce a purr? Why can cats purr while breathing both in and out? And why do some cats purr when they're frightened, stressed, injured, or even at the veterinarian?
We'll also look at the fascinating relationship between kittens and their mothers, the unusual "solicitation purr" some cats may use to get our attention, and the popular claim that purring might have healing properties.
The deeper scientists look into purring, the more interesting the story becomes. It turns out that a cat's quiet little rumble may communicate much more than simply, "I'm happy."
So settle in, get curious, and discover why cats purr.
