-Aww. -Yes, Ms Hucklebuck. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
Toodle-pip! | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Argh! I don't know how you do this work, Colin. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
It's so boring! | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
Hey, everybody, look what I got! | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
Oh, you're going to love this! | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
There's no need to be scared, Dr Knowles. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
They're only little mice. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
It's not the mice that's the problem, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
it's the panpipes! | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
I hate panpipes! | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |

Going live in five, everyone! | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |

Come on, everybody! | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
-BOTH: -It's time for... | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
Today we're asking, why do cats purr? | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
There are two types of cats - those that purr | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
and those that roar. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
Meow! | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
The ones that roar generally belong to the larger species of cat, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
such as lions, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
tigers, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
leopards | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
and jaguars. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
-Oh, my! -Those that purr include pumas, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
lynxes, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
cheetahs, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
bobcats | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
and of course our own domestic cats. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Meow! | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
But how do they do it, Doctor? | 0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | |
Most scientists believe that purring begins | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
in a cat's brain which sends a signal | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
to muscles in the voice box to vibrate. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
These muscles act like a valve by opening and closing | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
the space between the vocal cords, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
allowing air to flow through the cat's voice box. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
Hey, Dr Knowles, how does a kitten learn to purr? | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Purr-actice? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
Do you get it? | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
Ha. Good one, Professor. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
See you after the break! | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
And we're clear! | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
I mean, this isn't even part of my job. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Oh, this day couldn't get any worse! | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
Oh, no! Not these guys again! | 0:02:06 | 0:02:07 | |

McCork, sort this mess out! | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Ah, there they are! They keep escaping on me. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
Argh! Panpipes! | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |

Positions, everybody! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
So, Dr Knowles, why do cats purr? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Cats usually purr when they're happy and content, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
like when they are resting, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
when they come into contact with people | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
and when they're eating. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
But what does the purring do anyway, Doctor? | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Well, there are a number of interesting theories. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
One suggests that it helps mother cats bond with their kittens. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
Aww! | 0:02:52 | 0:02:53 | |
And it is also thought that purring may improve the cat's health. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
Really? How so? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
Some studies suggest that the purring sound occurs | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
at a frequency that helps to improve bone density and healing. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
Ha, what a purr-fect system! | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
Do you get it, Dr Knowles? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
-Argh. -A purr-fect system! | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
Ha-ha-ha-ha! | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
See you later, Brain Freezers! | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
-Ah. -Finally all done. Phew! | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
And one more. Ciao! | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
What?! | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |

I'm losing my mind! | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
Oh, McCork, panpipes - my favourite! | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
How did you know? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
I had a hunch, Mrs Hucklepipes. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
I think we'll have to have panpipes every day from now on. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
