Cat constantly makes purring sounds

It is a normal phenomenon for a cat to constantly make purring sounds when it feels secure, is in a good mood, or wants to be petted. Less commonly, this occurrence can be due to respiratory problems in the cat, in which case it is recommended to take the cat to the hospital for inspection. The purring sound produced by cats is caused by the vibration of the false vocal cords, which creates resonance in the throat. Cats usually emit this sound when they are feeling secure, relaxed, and happy.

Generally, young cats aged 2-3 months often experience the first situation. Most young cats have a low sensitivity to their environment. After changing environments, gentle, stable-tempered cats who are not easily upset will continue to make purring sounds as long as they feel secure.
Cats may also make purring sounds when they like a particular toy or are in a relaxed state. At this time, they can use the purring sound to express their emotions, usually happiness and contentment.
When a cat rubs its head against your hand and makes a purring sound, it means they enjoy being petted and groomed. Gently brushing and petting them will enhance their sense of security and comfort. They particularly enjoy being touched on their head, chin, and tail base.
If a cat is feeling depressed, has no appetite, and continues to make purring sounds even without being petted or groomed, the owner should pay attention. The cat may be sick and it is recommended to take it to the hospital for inspection.
