Nor can experts say, exactly, what purring means. Cats purr when they’re happy - but also sometimes when they’re anxious or afraid, when they’re in labor, even when they’re about to die.
My cats purr when they're emoting. They stress-purr when hungry (or vet trips, etc) and regular-purr when fed. I think it indicates an amount of emotion rather than type.
- jerrysievert 4y agomy cat is a very mellow lap cat, and has had the fortune of being socialized quite a bit (she has a space backpack that she can travel in, and was a frequent guest at a local pub while they were open). thus, on her last vet trip, the doctor was shocked that she was purring, in a happy non-stressed way. of course, that meant for a stop at another pub that she's welcome at on the way home, for some more special on-the-bar time.
