Question

Does your cat purr when you are near?

Answer 1

No, my cat does not purr when I am near.

My cat is a rescue cat and is quite shy. She is very affectionate and loves to cuddle, but she's not particularly vocal. She will sometimes meow when she wants attention, but she rarely purrs.

Answer 2

In most cases, cats will purr when they are in a relaxed environment, sending out waves of calmness. This may also occur when you stroke them, and if this is the case, your feline friend is feeling happy or sociable. However, cats purr to communicate other emotions and needs, too.
