Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 2005Maine Coone doesn't Purr??
My 2 year old Maine Coone doesn't purr out loud. Just a slight rattle if I put my head to his body. Is this normal for this breed? Any ways to get him going if I can? Some cats just purr quietly. Very individual. > My 2 year old Maine Coone doesn't purr out loud. > Just a slight rattle if I put my head to his body. > Is this normal for this breed? > Any ways to get him going if I can? >My 2 year old Maine Coone doesn't purr out loud. > Just a slight rattle if I put my head to his body. >Is this normal for this breed? >Any ways to get him going if I can? Mine sounds like a motor running..... he use to meow very quiet like he had lost his voice, but now he meows louder. Karryl I'm not certain that Tiger is a Maine Coon but I suspect he is. When he purrs his breath rate doubles and his purr is very hard to hear. ---MIKE--- > My 2 year old Maine Coone doesn't purr out loud. > Just a slight rattle if I put my head to his body. > Is this normal for this breed? > Any ways to get him going if I can? Man! A rattle?! Maybe that *is* his purr? If not, I'd get him checked. > From: "Mary" <crazyaboutfelines@yahoo.com> > Organization: Road Runner - NC [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Man!

I think cats are just individual. You can't tell when Kami is purring. Sometimes you have to lay your ear on her or feel for the vibration to know. On the other hand, my neighbor's cat has a muffler problem. If you's sitting on you, you can't even hear the TV. I try not to pet, touch move her after she stops because she'll start up again. I really don't know what's worse: wonderingful if your cat is happy and contented or needing earplugs.  SignatureBrandy??Alexandre? http://www.swydm.com/?refer=BrandyAlx Well, would you?

When I visited Eros at the shelter, he was in a kitty condo with another cat. Eros' purr was so loud, and Shorty's so quiet, that when I was holding Shorty by my ear with Eros at knee-height, I couldn't hear Shorty, just Eros rumbling!

Sounds just like Isis her purr was audible at 15 feet but Fugazi didn't have hardly any purr at all nor was she particularly vocal, I reckoned both things were because she couldn't get a word in edgeways with her noisy sister Isis Lesley Slave to the Fabulous Furballs >I think cats are just individual.

One of my sister's former cats had a really loud motor, and he would try to snuggle and bury his nose in my ear. It was horrendously loud, and his nose was cold and wet. I practically had to fight him off. Good motor, but too much. Maynard is prefect. You can lean your face into him when his is purring, and he makes a perfect pillow.
