Welly has found his purr....

[jckkerrison]

At 3yrs 10mths old Wellynton Boots has found out how to purr,I always thought his brother Shimba had taken it over as he has never stopped from the day we had him,Welly is vocal in the talking department & his voice is really deep,comes from his "Boots"but never has he given the slightest hint of purring but today when I cuddled him & done the usual ear tickles I suddenly realised his body was vibrating & soft purrs could be heard,didn't want to stop in case I never hear it again but fingers crossed now he has found it he will continue to purr at cuddle time & hopefully it will get louder,it will be great to add the fifth purr to my cats voice choir,bless him......

That is so very sweet to hear! Bless him.

[Fozzie]

Awww! Maybe his voice broke!

[Helen & John]

Bless him and he saved his first purr for Mum too xx

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

[Suzygeorgie]

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
