Why Cats Purr at 25 Hz: Vocal Fold Pads and the Physics of Self-Sustained Oscillation
A 2023 Current Biology experiment showed that excised cat larynges can produce purr-like low-frequency oscillations under airflow without neural input. Connective-tissue pads are a plausible contributing mechanism, not a settled complete account; frequency overlap does not establish bone healing in cats.
