I read it, it’s from 2013
For the record, people claim that cat purring cures things (heals bones, for example). This is not true. There is a published academic paper claiming it, I read it, tldr it’s total garbage.
Not true. Pet cats are about a third of the problem, according to a 2013 nature paper. Feral populations vary a lot by location - some places have almost no ferals but lots of pet cats.
Ahhhhhh! Yes, that’s it, thanks!
I think I remember seeing it on TV? Like in the early 90s?
Is this the movie where a guys arm bone busts through his skin? That’s the only part I remember from childhood…
Yeah, I had heard that too and eventually looked up the research paper and it’s bs, lil. It’s pretty much an academic paper just saying maybe they do and someone should look into it… No actual results. Not the paper fault - media spinned it.
