Why do cats purr ? Question might not be so obvious as it seems...
Why do cats purr?The question might seems obvious ,a purring cat is a contented cat.This surely must be true or is it?Not...Reapeated observation revealed that cats in pain,injured or even in labour purr.These can hardly be a contented cats as such but it it true that also contented happy cats purr too ...but not solely because of being content.
(pic. example found from google)Let's check what i found in book about cats.In a book it says i quote ,,A more precise explanation ,which fits all cases ,is that purring signals a friendly social mood,and it can be given as a signal to say a cat indicating the need for friendship or as a signal to an owner,saying thank you for friendship.,,So you see it 's sort of friendly signals as suppose to contentment.

(pic also from google)Purring first occur when kittens are one week old . It's primary use is for when they are getting being ,,suckled,, as to speak by their mother.It sort of act as a signal to say that all is good and everybody is happy milk is reaching destination...etc.
The difference between small cats(domestic cats) and big cats(lion,tigers...) is that big cats can't purr properly.Big cat's produce sort of ,,juggering,, one way purr but domestic cat's produce sort of full two way purr.On the other hand big cat's compesate that for the fact that they can roar ,which is something a small cats could never do.
