Three of our five cats are litter mates, born to one of the others. I noticed purring by the mother and the little ones when they nursed. And now that they are grown, they commonly purr when grooming each other--something they often do when in a good mood. So they seem to use purring as a general feel-good signal between themselves, and not just with humans. Maybe they wonder why we don't purr when they rub against our legs? -- Sue Brezden Real World: Room 1B17 Net World: ihnp4!drutx!slb AT&T Information Systems 11900 North Pecos Westminster, Co. 80234 (303)538-3829 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I march to the beat of a different drummer, whose identity, location, and musical ability are as yet unknown. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
