How many people's cats are purring at the moment?

Beauty's wandering around the room purring her head off nearly.

Mines not.. if I went and picked her up she'd probably start.

Lets see: Oreo is stalking Jazz, Jazz is trying to dominate mount Tosh and Snickers is sitting in her "cardboard box". Nope, no purring going on here.

I am sure if I went over to Snickers and pet her she would start purring.

Same here. If I went and started stroking Lena, she'd start purring. Right now, she's busy in the litter box, so I think she's concentrating on that.


Larry's hiding out/sleeping in the closet. I have yet to hear him purr since I've had him, but I'm working on it.

Sterling's not purring. He's curled up on top of my guitar amplifier, and he only purrs when he's curled up next to my wife at night.

Punkin's not purring now, but if I pick him up, he will. Funny thing is, he'll start squirming right way to escape, but he'll keep on purring until I put him down.

Stumpy is walking around looking for mischief, so definitely keeping quiet.

Smudge is following Stumpy like an annoying little sister
Also not purring.

Lily just walked by and rubbed against me as she went by, but no purring.

If I touch any of them, they'll start though.

Mine is napping on a chair tucked under the dining table. IN about 15 minutes or so, she'll move to another spot. But yes, she purrs and gasp! *SNORES*.

Lola is stretched out on me, purring and drooling. Cleo's sleeping by the furnace register (probably not purring) and Maggie is running around like her tail's on fire (definitely not purring!)

Fae & Penny are still hanging out in their room while they get over the cold they caught at the shelter, which gives Midnight a bit more time to become adjusted to them. So I'm not sure if they're purring at the moment, though whenever Fae sees me she starts purring.

Meow is on my youngest daughter's bed, snoring away. He snores so loud I can sometimes hear him from another room.
If I were to start petting him he'd purr. But I'll let him sleep.

My husband works night shift so Midnight is sleeping with him right now. She seems to sleep alot since during the night she'll sleep with me too. If you shift or move in bed, she'll start purring. If I were to go upstairs right now and get something from my bedside table I know she'll start purring and probably even "mwerp" at me.

I'm looking forward to when Penny & Fae can be out in the main area of the house more. Fae seems like she'll happily hang out on my lap and purr while I'm on the computer.

Sonic is on my lap purring his little head off. Jacob is asleep on the sofa and I'm not 100% sure where Radar is, but as they're not getting cuddled they are probably not purring right at this moment.

Mine aren't at this moment...

One is under the couch watching me type...her usual position at this time of night.

Another one is on the back of the couch, snoozing; again, a typical position for that kitty.

The other is on the bed snoozing.

George WAS purring on my lap a minute ago, until he saw his big yellow ball out in the hallway and lept off my lap to go pursue it

Demetri was when he was on my lap, but now he's talking to a pigeon.

Farley and Ana are playing chase.

Rusty and Dusty are getting in a little playtime before bed. Dusty was purring earlier. Once I go to bed, they will be crawling all over me purring their heads off

I'm pretty sure that Matilda is off somewhere sleeping. Or she's sitting somewhere thinking about how much she hates me.


Chloe's not purring, but she's right next to me sitting on my printer. She likes to sit up there while I'm on the computer and watch. She doesn't usually purr unless she is "nursing" on one of her blankets.

Quill is sitting in the middle of the hallway watching my mum get he boots on. and he's probably purring. It's so hard to tell with him, unless you practically put your head to his fur and you can hear him chuzzling away
