I don\u2019t have to look this one up. I have a cat who didn\u2019t purr until fairly recently. Lily is as sweet and cuddly as cats come. Yet, for her first 5 years, I heard nary a purr from her\u2014until a few months ago. She was busy making bread in my lap one morning when I heard a tiny crackle sound. It was labored and faint, but it was the beginning of a purr. Now she can maintain a sustained purr. It\u2019s soft and it is fleeting, but it is a purr\u2014music to my ears.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve read where kittens learn to purr from the mother cat. I guess that if the mother cat lives on the streets and is constantly in fear for her life and those of her kittens, she might not purr and bring attention to herself. Thus, the kittens would not learn how to use their purr mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>Evidently no one has figured out how cats purr\u2014how the mechanism actually works. They know that cats purr when they\u2019re content, but they also purr when they\u2019re under stress. I think most of us who love accommodating a cat on our laps, love hearing the gentle murmur of a kitten\u2019s purr.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where\u2019s the Next Klepto Cat Mystery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Readers are asking me, \u201cWhere\u2019s Book 9?\u201d And, \u201cWhen\u2019s the next print book coming out?\u201d Okay, okay, we\u2019re working on Book 9 as we speak\u2014<em>Mansion of Meows<\/em>.
