When I was holding my kitten, I notice there is a strange sound coming from its body.. like an engine sound and it's non-stop.

Is this normal?

Answer 1

Hi there...perhaps what you are hearing is your kitten purring. Cats purr when they are content or happy and it's quite normal. Here's a sound clip of what purring sounds like: http://www.caslis.com/devices/nokia7610/mp3rings/cat_purr.mp3

That sounds pretty normal to me! Haha. When my cats were kittens they would sleep in the cabiet drawers in the kitchen and to this day they will use the litter box while I'm going to the bathroom.

that sound is what is known as the cat's purr. Your kitten is purring - usually a sound that signal's the cat's pleasure. Congrats... your kitty finds your company and petting very pleasurable!
