All cats have brainwave activity that registers in the 7-14 cycle per second range... what is often termed the 'Alpha' frequency. It has been shown that there is more rapid cell regeneration in humans when exposed to this frequency, and faster healing can take place. Some people will place music players against damaged areas and play generated alpha rhythms, finding that this does seem to speed up recovery. Cats are 'natural' music players. Through personal experiments, I've found this works for me...

Cats even purr at 7-14 cycles per second which I believe is responsible for the comfort and calming qualities we experience when sitting with a purring cat!

I am a strong believer in purr therapy and was seeing a rather odd doc in california that insisted cats would sleep on injured areas. that was during kindle kitten's reign who seemed to be semi-permanently attached to my left armpit... I was never aware of any issues with that armpit. the issue with Strider deciding that it needs attention is that, well it is a painful injury and he is well in excess of 20 pounds!

my Dad's best childhood friend grew up to be a Doc, as down to earth a Doc as a former New Mexico Cowboy could be... I was one of those kids that was all arms and legs held together with bandaids, I don't think that a period of 3 months passed without me having tore up elbows and or knees from the time I was 4 until maybe 16 (then I just had more interesting accidents), the "Doc" always insisted that dog spit was good for the owies and to let them do their thing! never had an infection!
