Marina - 01 Jan 2005 09:21 GMT
Look at the pillow case my sister gave me for Yule:

http://tinyurl.com/3zcsk

The caption says, "Just five more minutes".

And now I can offer real purrs to anyone in need. I managed to record a
.wav file with Nikki's special, trilling purrs. If anyone wants to hear
it, drop me a line at marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi.
Or if anyone can point me to a place where I could post the file, I
could make it available to everyone. I believe everyone needs access to
a purr file. ;o) (Am I a crazy cat person or what?)

>(Am I a crazy cat person or what?)

The correct answer is *not* "what" ;-)

Happy New Year, helen s

I'm afraid it was handmade, so I don't know if there are any more than
this one. :o)

It resembles ones available at a shop near us (in Tikkurila, the Tikkuri
mall near the station), can't remember the name of the shop tho. I'll
have to check if they have the one with the black cat too.

Marina, Jazz wants to thank you for the sound of his lady Nikki's purring.
He jumped back a bit when I started it, as he thought it was a lion
growling, heh. I think I had the volume up a little bit too loud.

That's great! Thanks again. I thought you found a nice picture of her,
enjoying herself on the island.

That's SO nice. Thanks guys.
Take it down  half an octave and it's just what I'm used to from little
Bandit on a friendly day: I call him my "V8 Purrmachine".
As with Nikki, sometimes all it takes to start him off is a kindly look.
His favourite time to give full-volume vent is while I'm on the 'phone:
he nearly always comes up for a stroke (he hates to be ignored) and
starts up right away.
I often have to explain away the rumbling in the background: he gets
"put on the line" occasionally and never fails to impress his audience.

So mighty purrs to all

oooo. I would like to hear it. I've tried to record purrs but mine do not
purr loud enough!

CatNipped very kindly posted the file on her website. It's at:

http://www.possibleplaces.com/Nikki_Purr/

but of course, if you want the file, I can send it to you as well. The
sound fluctuates so much because Nikki refused to keep her head still
and purr into the mike. ;o)

My goodness!!! That is REALLY a purr! Were you petting her during all that?
Marina - 01 Jan 2005 21:01 GMT

I was ho9lding her and sort of stroking her, but sometimes you just have
to *look* at her and she starts up. I can sometimes hear her from the
other room.

Awww, how adorable is that!  She sounds quite a lot like Tallulah does
when she's especially happy.   :-)

You can upload it to the file section of Catslaves if you like.

<slaps forehead> Of course. I never thought of that. Have been
neglectful of Catslaves lately. I'll put it there, too.

So did I, she's an awesome purrer.
Kitty's a good purrer too, Boyfriend isn't (yet).  He's still too shy to let
himself go.
