Purring is a sign of contentment and being affectionate.
Meowing is a way to say "i'm hungry" or "i'm playing/want to play" or "i'm mad, go away" It really depends on their body language and tone.

It shows their emotions. A purr might be when it is enjoying something like a good rub or when it is being petted. A hiss might be when a dog is chasing it. A meow is when when it is greeting you or if it sees somethin interesting. If you have been in a animal shelter before have you noticed when you walk by most of the cats start to purr immediately in hopes of leaving that place and being adopted. 0_0 =)

Cats usually meow when they're hungry. Purring is usually a sign of satisfaction or affection.

Purring is a social signal--a sign of friendship/affection. I have read that cats in pain or even dying cats will purr.
Meowing takes many forms of vocalizing, and it's also a request for attention.

Purring-Shows that they like you, what your doing (rubbing thier ears), they are happy and content, they love you. Meow because they are trying to talk to you and say either thank you, i want this, come here, pay attention to me. Also: when the kneed with thier paws it means they are happy! :]
