You'll notice that cats purr when they are content, sick and in pain.
It was believed for a long time that cats purred when they were happy, but that doesn't explain why they would purr when they're sick or in pain.
I read recently that there is a university study going on right now to test whether cats purr at a frequency that helps their bodies heal. Which would explain why cats heal quicker than dogs and other animals.
I firmly believe this is the case. It makes the most sense.
