This month’s cat vocabulary is the word purr. It’s wonderful word to describe that sound cats make when they are typically very relaxed. They can be happy and meditating while they are purring.
We can get their motor running or get them purring when we pet them gentle. They can purr when they cuddle up to us. They can even purr with their eyes half closed when we tell them out loud that we love them.
