has anybody ever had a cat to purr more like a chirp?

while snuggling with Cricket today, she started making this wierd noise, which I assume is her attempt at purring. (she has never, ever purred)

it sounded like the little chirp sound they make while hunting, but it was constant like a purr.

what do y'all think?

It may be her purr, or maybe she has laryngitis? That is sweet that she is vocalizing, either way!

my bea chirps like that, and so do the kittens from time to time.

I call it her "meow-chirp" because she's usually trying to get more attention out of me when she does it...

Matilda is a total chirper. She purrs, but instead of meowing she kind of has this chirp/meow that she does whenever you move her or pick her up, or pet her. It's completely adoreable.

I do feel that it's a love thing, she is so pretty. I'll try to put on a picture of her.

My kitten's purr turns into a chirps when she is getting hugs and more vigorous petting - it's cute!
