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? |

Suddenly, without warning, Mark Earnest exclaimed (2/6/2010 6:12 PM):
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? jmc |

If your cat is purring, and you fail to pet her, does it hurt her feelings? I doubt it. My cats purr when contented. When they want something, they "meow" and pester me. |

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 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. |
