Mother cats purr to their kittens while nursing, and soon the kittens purr back. There is evidence that purring is actually a "come to me" sound. In the morning, when it is time for me to awaken, my cat purrs to me when she jumps on my bed, so she may be asking for some attention and affection.

Purring under stress has more colorfully been described as the cat's mantra, e.g., a self-soothing, self-healing, relaxing, vibrating sound (sort of like the Ommmm one might hum while in the lotus position.
