Cats seem to purr for several reasons and in a variety of situations. Many cats purr when they’re content, such as when they’re being petted. Others purr at other cats as a sign of playfulness or friendliness. And there are those who purr when they are distressed, sick or injured, which may be a way for the cat to calm himself.
