My Kitten does not purr!

I have always noticed that some of my babies purr & or talkative more than others.. Just like 2 legged humans some talk & are happy & some are not.. Welcome to Pet Talk & enjoy all the talks & pics..

I've had fosters that wouldn't purr.
They have to be comfortable in their surroundings. Is your kitty scared at all?
Tail between legs? Runs for cover?
Does your kitty groom in public?

I don't think it's anything to be concerned with.
Just show kitty as much love as he can handle.

Aroara is not a purry kitty. It was 2 years before I ever heard her purr. In fact I wasn't even exactly sure it was a purr the first time I heard it. They are VERY few and far between. I even asked the vet tech about it one time.

My cat Socks purrs very low. I can barely hear him purring. I can tell he his purring by felling under his chin. He does meow a lot.

Our BART has a low purr, as big as he is, 26 lb. and Princess is the same, you have to be almost touching to hear them. Our newest Roscoe at 8 weeks you can hear for 3 blocks. I can almost tell who is on the bed by the purr. Except Mits he likes to give me a wet willy and purr so loud that I wake up to pet him. He then goes into a soft purr.
