Your cat is a wonderful friend and you’ve really enjoyed being able to learn more and more about her each day. You’ve noticed some habits are a bit different than you expected them to be, like her purring, for example. Why does she tend to purr at odd times?
Most people know that cats like to purr when they are relaxing, being pet, or falling asleep. This is why it may seem so confusing if she purrs in situations that don’t fit these descriptions. However, your pet has learned to self-soothe with purring due to its association with calming situations, so she may take the time to engage in this behavior when she is feeling stressed, upset, or otherwise out of sorts. She will likely do so when she wants to calm herself down. For additional information, please consult your local veterinarian Webster, NY.
