Purring

Purring is an extraordinary sound and it isn't 

exactly clear how cats do it.

Not only domestic cats purr-many of the

larger members of the cat family can also

generate this vibration.

~

The behaviour stems from kitten hood, as the mother

return to the den & quietly signals 

(to avoid attracting attention from predators)

that all is ok by purring to her kittens.

~

Cats will also purr when they are

sick or injured; there are various theories

for this - the frequency of the purr in sick

animals differs from the healthy purr & it may

have healing properties or it may be self-soothing 

when the cat feels at its most vulnerable.
