Do Thai cats purr.?

[rott]

Ours doesn't, never really had contact with cats here before so don't know if this is normal or not. 

[steven100]

no

[blackcab]

Yes, ours do.

Have 2.   Both have well developed purr ????

Thanks all. Seems happy and playful enough, eats enough. Just being a cat then.

Some do.  I think some rescued stray cats may not, as it's a kitten's reflex and they will have grown out of it, but pet cats that have always lived with humans retain the kitten traits, and so purr when relaxed and being petted, and sometimes when eating.

 

I've had house cats with really loud purrs, but I did notice that rescued cats in a Thai sanctuary did not purr, even when relaxed, apparently happy, and sitting while being stroked.

 

As an aside, my Thai wife purrs when she's relaxed ..... or maybe she just snores.

[HashBrownHarry]

All of my cats purr. All are rescued. All are now happy and content. They need to develop a high degree of trust with their masters.

Our Cat not only Purrs, she also has a vocabulary of sounds she makes when needing something 

Ie a Sound to go out , a sound for content Etc Etc, all very distinct and specific to her request for something.

Never had a Cat like this one before.

After knowing me for 2 weeks he jumped up on the bed and allowed me to stroke him for a minute or two. And there was a very quiet purr there.
