If your cat doesn't purr when you pet her, it doesn't always mean she doesn't like your attention.

We explain why some cats love to purr, while others don’t purr even when they’re petted.

Why do some cats purr and others don't?

Whether a cat will purr frequently and loudly or not depends on the breed, physiology and character of the pet.

If your cat has never purred, then there is no need to worry about it.

If your pet always purred with pleasure, but then suddenly stopped, this is a serious cause for concern.
