hezoid @hezoid (2144) 20 May 07

Whenever i am laid in or on my bed and my cat is laid there with me, the sound of her purring happily away always seems to relax me so much that it sends me to sleep! Do you ever find this happens with you and your cat(s)?

WaxingDoleful @WaxingDoleful (42) • United States 7 Mar 07

My oldest male cat who is 2..has stopped purring..He hasn't purred in about a year. Do the males just stop when they get a certain age? I really miss it. Do you think something is wrong with him? He's very healthy.

w1z111 @w1z111 (985) • United States 7 Mar 07

I like to think cats purring is because they're 'content', but I don't know that's entirely true. I've heard they purr because their nervous system becomes aroused. Any ideas?
