Call me weird but when cats are being petted are they feeling a normal sensation or are they sorta moaning in a disturbing sexual way? Could it also be a way of communicating I'm not sure, there are different speculations about it. This question has been on my mind as I have been observing these cats . But finally I have an answer to it!
According to Live Science Beta cats have a variety of purrs. One of which is a "sign of contentment.." . it is produced in the diaphragmatic muscle which is located closely to the stomach. Cats do this as a pleasure type of sound just like humans getting massages.Another purr as well is a feeling of nervous or pain . This article states that "some experts believe vocalization is a type of self healing ." Those are jus 2 here's another. A recent study in U.K. shows that cats purr as a form of asking for food . They do this by saying a crying type of sound (palamero). Clever little animals, what other great way than crying can get their owners attention to feed them. Although I'm not sure if I'm petting to hard or the cats want my sandwich but I still don't know which is their reason for purring .
