Those of us who have hearing impairment may not find that quite so funny.

Yeah....but don't you think they pet their cat? I mean, I feel for purring
more than listen anyway.

It's not always that palpable. Hodge purrs, but you can't really tell by
feel. I can hear him if I'm very, very close.

The flippant/playful remark certainly would not apply to
hearing-impaired people, of course.

And maybe a feeling impairment.

Kiki is lying between my chest and left arm (at the moment with
her paw stretched out onto my ear). I probably could feel her
purring before I could hear it. I can also tell when she's
dreaming.

No, it's just not that much of a purr. Yeesh.

It's the same with my oldest cat.  I can't hear or feel her purr at all.
My other cat has more of a rumbling breathing sound as his purring but
it's not very loud.

Actually, this would be a great product for deaf cat owners...
