Purr... a soothing twist on white noise

8/31/2021

 
A quick tip for stressful times...

Do you use white noise or nature sounds to help you sleep, focus, or self-soothe?

Are you a cat lover?

Then you might enjoy PURRLI - the "white noise purr generator." :)
It's free here! https://purrli.com/

At first, I was just intrigued by the cute idea, and I thought my neurotic cat might benefit from it. But when I listened through my earbuds, I was struck by how instantly soothed I felt! It was visceral, really. 

It makes sense. Purring is understood as both a way for cats to self-soothe, and an attachment behavior that conveys pleasure and comfort in the presence of another. 


Some PURRLI users report relief from anxiety and panic attacks. Others use it to sleep, or to help them cope with grief after losing a beloved pet.

Enjoy!
