I have had Tex as a long term foster for almost a year now. He moos, he grunts, he trills... but I have never heard him purr --- until yesterday!
Sometimes when you hold him he seems to be vibrating a little bit but you can't hear anything... can't really even feel it in his throat.
But yesterday I was sitting at the dining table and Tex was sitting in this box I keep on there for him. I was upset about something and on the phone.... I reached over to pet him while I was talking and ...... prrrrrrrrrrr! I could hear this... I thought maybe one of the OTHER cats was under the table... but no... it was TEX! I touched his throat and sure enough... he had a little motor boat going!
Personally, I think he was trying to comfort me b/c I was so upset. I'd like to think so, anyway.
