| Common Myth: Cats purr whenever they are happy: Purring is not just a sound of contentment. Cats also purr if they're injured, while giving birth - even when dying. British zoologist Desmond Morris has observed that purring is "a sign of friendship" - either when the cat is content with a friend or when it is in need of friendship - as with a cat in trouble. | |||
