The internet is no stranger to adorable pet videos, but a particular tabby cat has recently caught the attention of many.

Tabby cat offering healing slow blinks and purrs wins internet
This calming video shows a beautiful tabby cat sitting outdoors, enveloped in natural light. As the camera focuses on the feline, she gently blinks her eyes and purrs with a comforting sound, seemingly offering solace to anyone who might need it. The text overlay on the video reads, “Sending you slow blink & purring healing powers in case you’re having a rough day.” It’s no wonder the video has garnered over 277K likes, with countless comments from viewers who felt moved by the cat’s calming presence.
Many users shared their personal stories of how the video brought them a sense of peace. “Just what I needed. Starting chemo on Monday. Terrified! Slow blinks from beautiful Molly are wonderful medicine,” wrote one user. “I’ve been really struggling (in a dark place mentally) and feel so alone. This sweet kitty put a smile on my face, even if just for a bit… such a precious cutie pie,” said another.
Cats purr for several reasons, ranging from self-soothing to communication. The sound is produced when a cat’s brain sends repetitive neural messages to its voice box, causing the vocal cords to vibrate during both inhalation and exhalation. This results in the continuous purring sound that many find calming.
For humans, the benefits of a cat’s purr are more than just auditory pleasure. Studies suggest that the frequency of a cat’s purr — typically between 25 and 150 Hertz — can promote healing in bones and tissues. It is thought to be one of nature’s unique ways of providing therapy, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as “purr therapy.” So, the next time you find yourself near a purring cat, take a moment to relax, soak in the vibrations, and enjoy nature’s built-in form of therapy.
