    Yes, I've heard that too - I didn't know that they only meowed for us. Marbles is just starting to find her voice - it's little and squeaky and very cute!

    I think they're psychic and psychotic too - especially Ms. Marbles

    I think they do meow just for us...in all the years Ive had my three I dont think Ive ever heard them meow at each other. Hissing and growling yes but not meows!

    Cassie seems to have two levels of purring volume. The first one is kind of loud, like "everything's okay for right now, but don't change a thing or you'll tip the balance". The one I cherish most is soft and low - that is the purr that tells me all's well in her world. Either way, I love to hear her purr!

    I believe it. When I had to have my Peeka put to sleep, she was in pain and crying b/c her body was shutting down from CRF and she was jaundiced, yet purring like a motor boat. And I've rescued cats that were scared to death yet purring when I picked them up.
    Blessings,

    ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!! As someone who was fortunate to have therapy cats, I saw the effects the cats and their purring had on so many people. Spunky, Raven, and Ralph Syracuse are gone, and I have never found cats to take their places...Sure miss you guys....I have attached some photos of Spunky(I have the most of him)the first one is from 9/03, on the USS Intrepid, the other 2 are from a Pet Expo, in 4/03. Spunky left for the Bridge 9/15/04.

    Absolutely purring is medicinal. Since I had the Labrador love of my life put down last September Buddy has been my shadow. When he lays on the arm of my recliner at night it is the most comforting thing to me. I find I sleep much better when Tink comes and sleeps by my head at night too.
