When I was growing up on a dairy farm, we had lots of cats and they all purred pretty much alike - sounding the same and purring under the same circumstances. But I've noticed that all 3 of my babies now have very unique purrs, special to themselves.

If I had to use only 3 words to describe their purrs, they would be:

Bo - constant, thundering, snorting

Jazz - delightful, abrupt, spontaneous

Trixie - rare, delicate, silent


How would you describe your cat's purr?
