The Power of the Purr: How Cats Help Reduce Stress

Step into Meow Maison on any given day, and you’ll notice something magical in the air. Sure, it’s cozy and full of good coffee—but the real magic comes from the soft paws, curious eyes, and gentle purring of our feline friends.

Believe it or not, that little purr you hear isn’t just cute—it’s healing. Science backs what cat lovers have known all along: Cats are natural stress relievers!!

The Healing Frequencies of a Cat's Purr

A cat’s purr typically ranges between 25 and 150 Hz. Research suggests that these frequencies can promote healing in bones and tissues, reduce pain, and lower stress. That low, rhythmic hum has even been linked to lowering blood pressure and improving mood. It's no wonder so many people say they feel better just by sitting with a cat in their lap!

😺 Pawsitive Vibes Only

Cats offer a calming presence. They're quiet observers, gentle snugglers, and expert loungers—all of which encourage us to slow down and be present.

In Meow Maison, we often see guests walk in flustered from a busy day, only to melt into a smile as soon as one of our cats curls up next to them. Whether it’s Doc, our playful brown tabby, batting a toy mouse around or another cat snoozing in a sunbeam, they have a way of helping people reconnect with peace.

🐈 Come Feel It for Yourself

Next time life feels overwhelming, come spend a little time with us. Let the cats do what they do best—purr, play, and remind you to slow down. You might leave feeling lighter, calmer, and maybe even with a new furry friend in your heart.
