Hi there...if your cat is purring while straining to defecate as a result of constipating this may indicate he is in severe pain. Some cats will purr when they are not only happy and content, but also in critical pain or while dying.

Cats purr to show contentment. Purring releases a calming and relaxing enzyme into their bodies. Its been said that cats purr when they are hurt, giving birth, or dying in order to relax their muscles

Purring is part of every cat's repertoire of social communication, apparently created by the movement of air in spasms through contractions of the diaphragm. Interestingly, purring is sometimes heard in cats who are severely ill or anxious, perhaps as a self-comforting vocalization. But, more typically, it is a sign of contentment, first heard in kittens as they suckle milk from their mother.
In adults, purring is heard in domesticated cats when they are petted, and in feral cats during sexual or other social contexts. Like submissive posturing among dogs, purring may be a signal of appeasement to other cats or to people, a way to communicate that the purring cat need not be threatened.
As with many behaviors in dogs and cats, the original presumed purpose of the behavior may not be directly relevant in a pet home. But we do believe that, when our healthy pet cats purr, they are happy and at peace.

Do you make contented sounds when you are constipated? Nevermind no one wants to know the answer to that. When they are happy, content and also when they are annoyed they purr.

they purr for many different reasons, its their way of saying they're happy, cozy, sleepy, whichever, but they also purr when they are sick, ill, dying, giving birth( i swear) we use words, facial expressions, actions, or thoughts to define how we feel, cats are limited as they can only well make cats noises.

No castor oil!! in case you think of she is making much less poop than standard and he or she is not pooping someplace she should not be and additionally you have not got here across it yet, she desires a vet verify . She is a senior kitty and might have something happening. Or if she is definitely constipated and basically little sniglets of poop pop out, she might elect greater water or moist food to get greater water in her. Or she might elect some hairball gel which will help circulate issues alongside . i might take her for a vet verify just to be secure.
