When I saw the headline “The complicated truth about a Cat’s Purr,” I thought “oh, it’s probably just another click bait headline with not much substance.” much to my delight, the post from BBC Future [turned out to be] an in depth piece exploring why cats purr and what purring means. From the physiology of purring to how cats us purring to communicate, this post covers it all. read the full post on BBC Future.

I adore this little video of the kitten falling asleep to the sweet sound of a music box. My Godmother gave me a very specal music box – it is sitting inside of a plush animal, a toy Poodle, that moves its head with the song. The music/lullaby is by Johannes Brahms – please listen to this, it is so stunning What I wanted to say, is that a cat’s purr is so unique, and I have layed down on the floor next to a cat, petting or brushing her, and nearly fallen asleep from the purring. Lullabys are terrific – by Brahms or by a cat.

I’ve always loved Brahms’ lullaby – one of the most stunning pieces of music ever written in my opinion.
