Product Information

Most domestic cats purr. Certain big cats also purr, including mountain lions, bobcats, and puma. Others, like lions, tigers, jaguars, and most leopards, have a larynx better suited to roaring. These big cats have a large pad of tissue near the front portion of their vocal folds. This helps them to roar, but it may have left them unable to purr. Curious about what your own cat is saying? Dr. Kong assures us it’s as easy as looking at the circumstances around a purr. “They could be communicating happiness if they do it while receiving belly rubs,” she explains. “However, they could also be communicating that they’re in pain if they purr while displaying changes in facial expressions.” Interactivity: Playing with your cat is half the fun!

These can be set on times or can be activated by play to give your kitty extra engagement when you cannot.

Unlike other vocalisations that cats or humans make, purring happens when cats inhale and exhale . As a cat breathes in and out, the muscles of their larynx dilate and constrict the area around their vocal cords (glottis). This causes air to vibrate over the laryngeal muscles, manifesting in the unique vibrato we know as the purr. Do All Cats Purr?
