Cat Purrs
Open to everyone until Thursday, October 1
To keep it, print it while it is open.
Cats sometimes purr when they feel scared, sick, or want attention. A purr is a sound, not always a sign that a cat is happy.
In the picture
- A cat’s throat with vibration arcs: purring while crouched in a carrier
- A bandaged front paw: purring from a cat that is hurt
- A cat’s cheek pressed to a human hand: purring to ask for touch
Examples
- A cat purrs at the vet while hiding in its carrier.
- A cat purrs and nudges your hand when it wants to be stroked.
Key takeaways
- Purring can mean stress, illness, or a request for attention.
- A purring cat may not be relaxed or happy.
