Thread: Welly has found his purr....

That is so sweet Jackie, made me want to cry. Now he's managed to purr once, I'm sure he will do so again and shows he must be truly happy with you x

Aw bless him.

Cool.

There's still hope for MC Elvis

As far as I can tell, Elvis at ~2 and a half years is still stuck in the teenage "I'm too cool to do that" mode.

I know that he can purr. One time about a year or so ago out of nowhere he jumped up on my lap,
which he also never does and started purring up a storm for a couple of minutes, caught himself,
and jumped down, looking around to see if anyone caught him being uncool.

One time only...

Sometimes when he's laying out and I pet him I can hear a low rumble going on in there if I put my ear close enough.

I'm guessing when he gets over being a teenager he'll come around.

You could be right about being "cool", Welly has always been the mischevious one of the two,no way would I do anything wrong mum,must have been him.... so it all ties in doesn't it,Shimba purring & cuddling to make up for being landed in the s**t by his bruv & Welly just letting him carry on,Shims has grown up enough now to walk away from trouble so perhaps Welly has decided that he had better start purring & making up to continue getting away with things.Will be interesting to see now when Elvis becomes "uncool",can just imagine him looking round to see if he had lost his street cred...x

Tee hee! I love reading about all these interesting characters, it's just like a maine coon soap opera.

Well, odd timing given this thread, but Dicky is very close to a proper purr. He has always had a breath driven purr - sort of purr ... breath in ... purrr ... breath in ... etc. but he jumped up on the bed earlier and almost managed a full joined up cycle. And Leo, he just has a very quite purr under that hug fur coat. But he does, at least
