This is an interesting idea, but its true. Cats purr in frequencies of 20 Hz to 50 Hz  and this is proven to be the Hz when you have more than one cat helps improve the bones in the cat who purrs and the other ones. Because of this it’s no wonder that a cat has less broken bones and hip dysplasia and arthritis than a dog. The other great news is that scientists think this might apply to other animals and even to humans, possibly. But on other animals that are chickens and rabbits that if they hear this every day to those vibrations had had a 20% more bone density and strength. A cat could probably help your other pets if you have any.
