While cats often purr when they're relaxed and content, they may also purr to comfort themselves when they're feeling stressed, anxious, unwell, or in pain. Scientists believe the vibrations from purring may even have calming and healing effects.
If your cat is purring but also showing signs like hiding, loss of appetite, lethargy, or changes in behavior, don't assume everything is fine. It's always best to have them checked by your veterinarian.
Understanding your cat's subtle signals can make all the difference.
