One of my cats, Teddy, doesn't really purr. He has on rare occasions, and even then, it can't be heard, just felt under his neck. However, he's a very happy, friendly, love bug.
My other cat PJ is a purr machine! You can hear her across a room, and she almost never stops purring. Also, she's a tortie - and I've noticed this about a lot of tortie's - at least the ones I know purr constantly. PJ is also constantly happy.
Does anyone know:
1. Why some cats purr and other don't?
2. Why some purr more than others?
3. Do some types (I know tortie's aren't a breed, but they're different than other cats with all their attitude!) purr more than others, or is it random?
Just curious.
