The Purr of a Cat

[COLOR=Purple]People know cats purr when they feel content but did you know they also purr to comfort themselves when they are feeling distressed? Mother cats also purr when giving birth. Some cats purr louder than others. For example, Higgins, my neighbour’s cat, purrs very softly. It’s not until I put my ear next to his neck that I can hear the low rumble of his purring. On the other hand, my friend’s Tonkinese cats can be heard purring a metre away. The rumble they produce is like that of a motor running and they sound so happy.


Apparently another sign of feline happiness is when a cat sticks its bum in the air in front of you. Sometimes, Higgins or Miggins will do this and I get a nice view! My neighbour says that is their way of saying they like me.

It is still not known how cats create the purring sound. For more information, please see the link below:
