You can now turn your computer into a furry friend with this cat purr generator
Meg Murphy Aug 28, 2015- Tweet

Are you wishing you had a cat to cuddle up with, but for one reason or another you can’t? I understand that nothing can truly fill that furry void like the real purr-y thing, but you gotta make do with what you have, so here it is guys, the online purr generator, which allows you to create your own customized rumble-y purr, straight from your speakers!
The Furry Friend cat purr generator allows you to get your fix when you’re away from your fur babies, or if you can’t have cats of your own. It allows you to adjust the bass, mids, and treble to create a custom purr to your exact liking. It’s also available as an app, so you can get your purrs on the go, or perhaps even slip your phone under a blanket in a lonely kitten’s bed to help them drift off to sleep.
I prefer my purrs with a little more bass
Furry Friend has a surprising number of options and controls at your disposal, allowing you to adjust everything from sub-bass to high-treble and set a timer so that your digital purrs play for anything from one to 120 minutes.
Non-cat people may think this sort of thing is completely nuts, but truth be told they’re the ones missing out, as studies have shown that cat owners have lower blood pressure and tend to live longer than those without a kitty companion. Also, according to the Furry Friend website: “A cat’s purr is generally within the range of 40 – 200 Hz. In sound therapy, these frequencies are believed to heal injuries and relieve pain.” Just one of an infinite number of reasons why cats are awesome.
You may have to resist the urge to snuggle and pet your computer while using this, though!
