The cat's purr is produced by vibrating their vocal cords. They purr for a number of reasons. They are content, stress/fear due to a situation which is upsetting to them.

It's a secret signal they're emitting which will eventually end all of humanity!

Cats purr from pleasure, it usually occurs when they're very happy. Gently stroking them usually makes most cats purr, but I had a cat that purred just on seeing a person. She was a special case because she was abused prior to me owning her. Sometimes, cats make a purring noise when they're very angry, but you'll be able to tell the difference. Also, a special treat that they're not used to getting may make them happy enough to purr.

Cats have this bone in their chest near their vocal chords its very soft so the noise vibrates. Cats have two sets of vocal chords. Their high voice is a meow their low is a purr.

They do when they are happy or comfortable - OR - when they are in great pain.

Cats purr to communicate. It usually represents relaxation, but is also a way for cats to say that they are not a threat. Scientists believe that it is created in the larynx by vibrations, but is still not fully understood or proven.
