How do you call this low pitched sound, coming from deep inside, cats sometimes make when under stress. I'm not sure which sound you 're thinking of, but many cats purr when under stress. It seems that purring can be used by cats to sedate themselves and even to kill pain. Purring thus has a double function: it may either be used to express a state of calm and well-being or produce such a state. Niels Peter -- www.bluewhite.dk Cats Are People, Too!

It is different from purring. It is not continuous. My cat would make just two repetitions of this voice and stop, sort of like two cries. It is quite loud. I would hear it if I was in another room. I'm at a loss here. I haven't heard this sound myself, as far as I can tell, in spite of many years with many cats. Let's hope someone else has the answer ... -- Niels Peter www.bluewhite.dk Cats Are People, Too!
