cats

I have had cats in my life for over half a century.  My last cat died 2 years ago.  Not had one since. However, an outdoor cat, been around 10 years of so, has decided to grace me more often with his presence.I still have a catflap which he has discovered. Very friendly and affectionate cat.My query is, do all cats purr? I've never had one that didn't but this one definitely doesn't. Do cats automatically have a purr? Is it a spontaneous reaction or something they learn?

Perhaps some do more than others. A vet might know.

Hi Barbara. My Harvey who I lost in February had the loudest purr ever but Lily hardly ever purrs and when she does it's so quiet I can hardly hear it and then it's only possible by literally having my face right next to hers. Perhaps your furry visitor is the same. xx
