cats also purr when they are in pain. it is an expression of intense feeling, whether of emotional contentment or physical pain. it is simply the way GOD made them to be. and the purr is one of the most delightful things about a cat.
I think if it's a happy purr then it's a way for them to show you that they love you. ♥.
But why?? It's obviously a vibration of some sort, but where does it come from?
Is it like us when we laugh?
I just did a small bit of research and found out that purring is unique in a cat because they purr while breathing in and out, unlike meowing which is created while breathing out. Apparently, kittens learn to purr very young and it is thought that it is a communication with the mother to tell her they are okay. Science also thinks that purring when a cat is injured or in pain may be a healing mechanism. No one really knows why or exactly how a cat purrs, but it is a very soothing sound to anyone who owns a cat.
It's a sign of happiness, contentment and submission. We have two cats. We got Two from a restaurant so obviously she was exposed to people. One, on the other hand, was feral and never learned to like people. She has been staying with us for more than two months but we couldn't hold or carry her without struggling to escape. We can only caress her while trying to sleep with Two and when we do that, Two purrs a lot but not One. Her body just stiffens and no sound at all. She curls up as if trying to hide because she's scared.
