Purring is a sound made by many members of the cat family.

This "signal" is considered very important. According to popular belief, purring is a way for kittens to call their mother.

In addition, purring is often a manifestation of emotion. In most cases, it is about the pleasure of food or relaxation.

And it is very bad if the cat suddenly stops purring. The owner should be wary.

An overexcited animal cannot calm down and relax. This explains the lack of purring.

But this situation is also possible: the pet could simply become ill.

What should the owner do?

If a cat is experiencing stress, a person should do everything possible to calm the animal.

Sometimes, all it takes is petting your pet or giving him a light massage.

If there is a suspicion that the cat has health problems (this may also be indicated by a serious change in the pet's behavior), then the pet should be shown to a veterinarian.
