* Purring frequency is individual: Some cats purr more often than others.
* Purring is not always audible: Cats can purr at frequencies too low for humans to hear.
* Purring can be triggered by various things:
* Happiness and contentment: A happy, relaxed cat might purr.
* Comfort and security: Purring can be a self-soothing mechanism.
* Pain and distress: Some cats purr when they're injured or in pain.
* Communication: Purring can be used to signal to other cats or humans.
* Purring frequency changes: A cat might purr more when they are eating, being petted, or playing.
Instead of focusing on a specific number, observe your cat's behavior and purring patterns to understand their individual personality and needs.
