The mystery of the cats purr! Why do they purr? Yes cats purr when they are happy, but also when they are stressed. The sound a cat makes is caused by vibrating muscles around the larynx. Also the purr originates from stimulation of a specific area in their brain. For those with cats we know they can purr for hours. Purring in the middle of the night when you are trying to sleep can be frustrating, but love them. They are happy to be near you.
Did you know the purr is the first sound a newborn kitten makes? Have you ever seen your adult cat drool as they purr? The combination of drooling, purring, and paw kneading in an adult cat may indicate a moment of regression to feeding time as a kitten.
Without all those cute purring fur-faces life would be boring! Let us keep them happy and healthy. Mine give me such joy!
