World-Class Pet Care Resources
While it’s true that a purring cat is often a happy cat, that’s not always the case. If your cat is purring more often than usual and the purring is accompanied by other changes in behavior (e.g., reluctance to go up and down stairs or jump onto furniture; hiding; a change in their energy level), schedule a veterinary visit as soon as possible. Purring may be related to pain, along with other vocalizations such as hissing, meowing and growling. Our pets are “wired” to hide their illness as a carryover from their ancestors. In the wild, if their ancestors showed weakness, they could easily be targeted by predators. Finding the source of the discomfort is the first step in creating a treatment plan with your veterinarian.
