Struggling to Understand Your Cat’s Behavior? Here’s What You Need to Know

Purring

I think we have all experienced a cat purring, probably a few times in our lives. Most of us think that it’s an obvious sign that a cat is happy and likely having fun but this is not always the case. Purring can easily be identified as the distinct sound that cats make through their throats and it has some kind of vibration to it. This is one of the few cat behaviors that are exhibited from the day they are born and throughout their entire lives. So, many experts think that cats purr to express different emotions such as joy, stress, or any needs. Purring is also a coping mechanism for cats to calm themselves down because scientists have seen cats start purring as they go into labor. Next time, before you jump to any conclusions and think your cat is being joyful, it might be trying to tell you that there’s a problem. You should look out for any other signs or see if your cat needs anything, to get to the root of the purring.
