Why your cat purrs

Your feline friend tends to purr a lot and you really enjoy it when you here this rhythmic sound. Why does she do this?

Your cat tends to purr when she is happy and content in your care. This communication is the reasoning behind why she started purring, as she needed to let her mother know that she had everything she needed as a kitten. This means that she is likely trying to tell you the same thing, or she is trying to capture the magic associated with the soothing feeling of being a youngster with her mother before drifting off to sleep. This can help her to self-soothe when she is stressed out or simply feels like relaxing, as she associates it with a positive, comfortable time in her life. Your local vet Glendale, AZ can offer additional advice.
