Is learning to purr part of maturing for a kitten? If so, is there some particular age when they might be expected to start? We picked up our 2 Maine Coon kittens last weekend, and by now they are comfortable with their new home and family. The little girl, the younger of the two by about a week (She's about 8 1/2 weeks right now), adapted the fastest, and is sleeping on my toes at the moment. The boy, a week older, has a real ready purr, but the girl hasn't, to my detection, purred yet, even when she jumps up in my lap for petting.
