Paper Summary:
The author of this paper conducts a case study on a mother cat and her nursing kittens to show whether or not the kittens purring is in response to the mothers purr, or in response to the feeding action, or for a different reason. The study was done in order to shed light on an area where little research has been done over the past 30 years.From the Paper:
"The kittens'; purring seems to be correlated with the feeding activity. One possible proximate cause for this behavior would be that the feeding motion of the kitten, the sucking motion, causes the kitten';s vocal area and the blood vessels in the throat to vibrate. This vibration would cause the kitten to purr immediately after beginning to feed. However, this would not explain the continuation of purring behavior after the feeding has stopped."More papers on A Cat's Purr:
