Everybody knows how good it makes us feel to be around a cat that is purring. But have you ever really thought about what causes this phenomenon?

When you were a child, you were probably told that cats purr when they are happy. Therefore, we learned to associate the purr with pleasure, and we assumed that every time our feline friends were purring, it was because we were doing something to make them happy.

Some new information provided by respected veterinarians, Doctors Foster and Smith, provide some more nuanced information about purring cats. If you want to learn more about what REALLY gets your cat's motor running, read on!

Most pet owners interpret a purring, squinting cat as an obvious indication that their pet is both happy and healthy. They think that the purr always expresses contentment, showing that the cat is comfortable and feels secure.

This is not totally false, but it is also not the whole story.

Many cats do purr when they're happy. Recent research by pet behaviorists has suggested that purring originally developed as a communication mechanism between mothers and kittens. The kitten could purr to his mother, thereby signaling that "everything is alright." This occurs most frequently when kittens are nursing, because kittens can't meow and nurse simultaneously. Purring and nursing at the same time, however, can be done. When the mother hears the purr, she may reciprocate, thereby reassuring the kitten by this communication mechanism.

This explains why your cat may purr when you pet him: he instinctively gives the "everything is alright" message so that both of you know all is well.

But what are the other possibilities?

Sometimes, older cats use purring as a form of communicating when they approach other felines. This helps them show that they are not an enemy and that they want to come closer, maybe to play.

Perhaps most surprisingly, purring is also a way that cats communicate when they are scared or in distress. Have you noticed that cats in the veterinarian's office often purr? So do cats who are injured or otherwise ill. This might be a way that cats try to calm themselves down and reassure themselves.

Purring is only one way that cats communicate their moods, desires, and needs non-verbally. They may also use their eyes, squinting or blinking slowly. Other "typical" cat behavior, like stretching, facial rubbing, or spraying can also be forms of communication. If you really want to establish a connection with your cat, try purring back. You'll both know that you're listening!

The Power of Articlesaur Article Directory

The power of Articlesaur is its ability to gain exposure and promote its writers. At present, we have Forty-One general subjects covering a very wide range of subjects. This means that, as a writer, you are assured of finding a home for your articles. As a publisher, it means that you will find the material you are looking for.

The key to the process begins with quality writers and the volume and quality of article submissions that come in each day. This means that there is always fresh and original content to meet the needs of any publisher. This will in turn mean more publishers coming to Articlesaur.com to find their material and in turn greater exposure for the writers.

This is a win-win situation for both the publishers and the writers. For the writers, you will find that there is no cost to you to set up an account or to submit your articles. After creating an account, you will find that with each article you submit, your website will gain exposure and additional links to it. This will help you rank higher on any of the search engines.

You will also find that, since your name is attached to the article when it is published, you will become known as an expert in the subject you write on. This will translate into more business for your website and it will increase the amount of money you are able to make. When people see your name over and over they begin to look at you as an expert and someone they can trust. People will buy products and services more often from people they trust.

The power of this article directory is in what it can do for the writer in its ability to target your audience. This is because of the simple fact that the publishers that are looking at your articles are interested in what you have to say. They, in turn, provide an audience for your articles on their websites and newsletters and the people that read them are also people that are specifically looking for what you have to offer. This is something that you cannot get through any other medium.

With ads, you are never sure who is looking at them and how many simply go past them because they were not interested in what you are selling. If you write an article on a particular kind of dog and submit your article to Articlesaur.com it will be published by people interested in that type of dog. Then your article will be read by people that are interested in that type of dog. They will go to your website and look at your product or service and spend their hard-earned money with you.
