Why do cats purr?

A stupid question but the answer is yet simple which I'm not exactly sure of...anybody who knows why cats purr?

what the fucking gash is going on with this thread. The topic says,
"Why do cats spin?" and if u hover the mouse over the thread in order to preview it, the thread content at the end says "Anybody know why cats are spinning." So im like wtf! so i click the link, it opens, and ur post is something totally differnt.

Shitcakes

anyway.. in answer to ur question, 1 theory is that purring is that its to do with the social communication, apparently created by the movement of air in spasms through contractions of the diaphragm.

It's been a mystery for 3,000 years but the code may have finally been cracked. Researchers say they have discovered why cats purr.

That motorized revving that all feline fanciers love isn't, it seems, merely a sign of contentment but rather a seal-healing mechanism that helps the animal's bones and organs to regenerate and grow stronger.

Cats purr at a sound frequency of between 27 and 44 hertz, a discovery that reinforces studies that human bones are strengthened when they are exposed to frequencies of 20 to 50 hertz.

Most cats - wild and domestic - purr. (Tigers don't.) Next up is to try to determine the mechanics of the process. And the secret cats have behind their enigmatic stare could very well help humans. Some scientists are taking their cue from the cat and studying whether sound therapy can help halt osteoporosis.
