Cat Psychology

Who knows what a purr is really all about?

If my cat is purring and I leave her alone, I feel
a bit guilty.

If your cat is purring, and you fail to pet her,
does it hurt her feelings?

Pretty much, if I fail to pet my cat when an opportunity presents
itself, it hurts her feelings. She can give such a LOOK - grandmas have
nothing on her!

Actually, I'm pretty sure in her world, I am only here to pet her,
provide a lap, feed her, and clean the litterbox. Pretty much in that
order

I love my cat. I think she loves me too, but who can tell?

I doubt it. My cats purr when contented. When they want something, they
"meow" and pester me.

Same thing here. Angie is a very vocal cat. When she wants something
(For example, she's a milk hound!) she meows very loudly, it's a very
plaintive cry.

But when she's curled up on my lap or belly, the purring commences.

I've never had an un-neutered cat so I wouldn't know.

Then I am glad to enlighten you. I have adopted two pregnant strays whom I
kept and spayed after finding their kittens (also neutered) homes. Any vet
will tell you that purring is a sign of emotion. The emotion might be
negative or positive.

Sure cats are hurt whenever they purr and you don't love them back.
Anyone that doesn't know cats can love don't know what love is
to begin with.

JudgeMental (a.k.a. cybercat/whatever) is a regular troll who is
desperate for attention and regularly spews bull**** here in this
group. Yes, of course cats purr when they are contented. All you
have to do is notice that when they are riled, they stop purring.
Any sensitive person can tell that (that excludes the creep
JudgeMental).

Mark, do we really need to do this again? Boundaries, man. Boundaries.
