Aww kitties! God is so good to us that He gives animals the ability to have therapeutic effects on us. Just now when I watched the video of the purring cat I was relieved from my bladder pain. I get that once in a while before my menses after going number one. Whale sounds seem to have a therapeutic effect too. And you may think this is interesting but I found that the horse whinney has a healing effect on me as well.<3 And I've been around horses so much that I figured that out! This one time back in 2009, I was at a horse show(Memorial Dressage Horse Show, can't wait to go again!<3) and I was hanging out with a Thoroughbred horse named "Valley Boy" and he was whinneying for quite some time and I recorded him on my camera. And then I was standing in front of him with my back turned and played back the video with him whinneying and I think he answered himself as he walked up and his head was right over mine and his whinney vibrated through himself and right through me head to toe. And I remember thinking how healing that was!<3

[...] The Pet Health Care Gazette tried to answer the question of why cats purr this week. I agree with Lorie Huston, DVM’s statement that ”there’s no sweeter sound in the world than that of a contented cat purring loudly and happily.” Read Lorie’s full post here.

I like the concept you offer in your post about the awareness of our own breath perhaps being the human equivalent of purring. What a lovely thought!
