Cats purr when they're happy, but also when they're scared or hurt. It's like a special sound made inside their chest that helps them feel better, kind of like how humans laugh to make themselves feel calm and relaxed.
Examples
- When your cat curls up on the sofa and starts purring, it's probably feeling content.
- Even if a cat is scared during a thunderstorm, it might start purring to comfort itself.
- Sometimes, when you stroke your cat and it starts purring, it’s just saying thank you.
