"If you need a Purr Detector collar that lights up to know when your

properly take care of one."

Unless you're deaf.

Those of us who have hearing impairment may not find that quite so funny.

Yeah....but don't you think they pet their cat? I mean, I feel for purring
more than listen anyway.

The flippant/playful remark certainly would not apply to
hearing-impaired people, of course.

It's not always that palpable. Hodge purrs, but you can't really
tell by feel...

And maybe a feeling impairment.

Kiki is lying between my chest and left arm (at the moment with
her paw stretched out onto my ear). I probably could feel her
purring before I could hear it. I can also tell when she's
dreaming.

It's the same with my oldest cat. I can't hear or feel her purr at all.
My other cat has more of a rumbling breathing sound as his purring but
it's not very loud.

Actually, this would be a great product for deaf cat owners...
