My roomate (a self-proclaimed Dog Man) discovered how to make my cat purr more loudly. It seems the volume of air passing through the purr box is directly related to the loudness of the purr. First: Get your cat happy Second: Place hands on cat's sides Third: Time your cat's breathing patterns Then: Squeeze cat gently as she breathes out. The above increases the volume of air, thus increasing the volume of the purr. She,of course, will breathe in more deeply. This means the intake purr is louder too. Twice as much fun for half as much effort. The cat clearly enjoys it, she purrs more loudly :-) E ***** PS If it hurt the cat, she would leave the lap. Instead she just lies there and looks like a happy idiot.

I can only imagine what it might feel like to have 2-foot long hands squeezing me rhythmically at the midsection. I might look like an idot, trying to figure out what to do in response to this WEIRD action. But I _can't_ imagine enjoying it... Too bad your cat's not named "Charmin" (hey, a pun-hater is entitled to one a month, I'm sure!) "Keep that catnip comin', man!
