A Cat's Purr

[Susanne (urbantigers)]

Jaffa purrs when he's eating too.  especially if I've just come in from work and greeted him and got him all purred up - he just keeps on going whilst eating his tea!

[Nicola (RockysMum)]

I love to hear cats purring! Bailey purrs like an engine.
I'm a terrible insomniac and I swear him cuddled up next to me purring helps me sleep. Unless he's on my head at the time 
He also purrs sometimes while eating, it's the weirdest sound when combined with him chomping loudly!

I love their purrs. Charlie sounds like a tractor, even with our night time ear plugs in we can hear him.
Poppy is a purry dribbler.
Wordy has a chuckely purr, and Ollie is learning his.lol

I love to put my head on their tummy and let the purrs go through me.

The Siren Song of Miss Noni Baroni, Hula Princess.  I love that!   

[Rosella moggy]

Noni has a loud and very rich, deep purr. 

It's an extremely contented purr that attracts Billy (her shadow), Ruby and Bobby within seconds.  They all gather round and head butt her.  Am pretty sure she would like them to stop 

She does her best to ignore them and dribbles in an effort to put them off but it never works 

Bless Ross

I love the sound of a cat's purr too - gentle or loud, I dont care when it's generated from a place of contentment.   

Moray's purr is loud, but Tinks has a quiet purr - a shy purr, which makes it even more delightful when you can coax one out of him. 

Ross used to have  a mega purr - he would purr on the in breath and the out breath, and it always made me smile. 

[Lyn (Slugsta)]

Both Alfie and Cleo have good purrs, Mr S complains about the former as it is usually demonstrated in the middle of the night whilst lying on my chest 

Punky, bless her heart, used to have a good purr but also an interesting range of loud wheezes and snores.

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Misa purrs like a concorde 

Sasa will occasiobally purr when being stroked.

lupin never purrs and hates being stroked, he is an indeorndebt independent terroist!

[Susanne (urbantigers)]

Jaffa purrs like a tractor and will start up almost as soon as you look at him.  Mosi purrs very quietly - you can usually only hear it if you place your head on his chest.  But every now and then a big purr erupts - its a sort of cross between a snort and an asthma attack!  Hard not to laugh.  He sometimes looks a bit bemused himself - like "where did that come from?"

[Greenlaner]

Hard pressed to ever hear a purr from my Billy . Well loved and cared for that he is.  He has a deep contented sigh though.

Dexter has a good purr, but only when he wants food!  I wouldn't change them for anything, but would love it if Denzel had a 'proper' purr!

[beowulf]

i love hearing a cat purr, i definatly find it relaxing, Willow purrs so loud we have started to call her motorboat 

is there any thing as cute as having a purring cat snuggle into you?

[maryas]

Aaw bless her, may be you should blow her nose

It is interesting. However, Denzel has the most pathetic purr I have ever heard! She sounds like she is trying to breathe through a really snotty nose  its ridiculous!

[Hippykitty]

They also purr while going through the pain of kittening, so maybe purring releases endorphins as natural pain killers and self-comforters.

Listening to a cat purr certainly has a relaxing effect on me so I'm not surprised that purring heals pusscats.

Very interesting:
