Purr

It's all in the purrrrrrrr

Did you know…

*Cats purr when they are happy, scared, content or threatened

*Big cats such as lions and tigers can roar, but can’t purr

            Big cats like bobcats, lynx and mountain lions can’t roar, but purr like a house cat

*Raccoons, guinea pigs and hyenas can also purr

*Having a cat has been known to lower stress and blood pressure…maybe it’s the purr.
