Cat purrs are one of the most soothing sounds in the world. It calms us down when we are feeling stressed or makes us feel happy when we are feeling down.
Cats purr when they are feeling content and happy. This sound is able to reduce stress and anxiety in humans.

The sound is so soothing because it mimics the way humans breathe, which helps calm the human brain. Even if someone does not like cats, this soothing sound can still soothe them.
Cats do not only purr when they are happy and content, they actually seem to physically benefit from it:
Scientists have demonstrated that cats produce the purr through intermittent signaling of the laryngeal and diaphragmatic muscles. Cats purr during both inhalation and exhalation with a consistent pattern and frequency between 25 and 150 Hertz. Various investigators have shown that sound frequencies in this range can improve bone density and promote healing.
