Purring engine? Maisie seems to have lost hers not a purr to be heard. If you find one please return it to us as I really miss that lovely sound. We will pay postage of course!
Thank you.

Will keep a look out. You can borrow Wicca's if you like, she's like a bloody tractor engine at 4 in the morning and I'm not exagerating when I say she actually makes pillows vibrate.
I can't always hear Freyja purr and have to get real close to her chest - have you tried that with Maisie?
How sad for Masie,not something you want to loose when you are a Maine Coon,if I find it zapping around Norfolk will parcel it up & return it to you.....
Will send you one first class from Germany we have a few spare!! :smile:Quote:

Thank you I have tried an amplifier as suggested but not a sound other than gurgling from the food she devours whenever possible.
Reassuring to know you will watch out for the missing part and indeed the kind offer to send an engine. I suppose they don't stock them in Pet shops but it could be quite interesting to call and enquire!!!!
You could try looking behind the fridge in the meantime...
.........or under the bed!!
Or what about the place where that missing favourite mouse goes too & you hunt everywhere in, out & under & then a few weeks later it is just sitting in front of you,I reckon it goes to that big hidey hole where all the odd socks would be found,if only we could find out where that is,but,because the toy is hard & unforgiving it gets rejected for causing an uncomfortable lump in that lovely soft pile & so gets returned to owner,now which catergory would a purr come into,softly softly they might keep it but if it vibrates well when starting up,like a cold car engine,then it could be classed as uncomfortable so fingers crossed in the next couple of weeks it could be ejected & returned to its rightful owner...
Will still keep a lookout around here though,could always put a note on our "missing board"at work !
We have 2 male littermate kittens and one purrs MUCH louder than the other. Also very different personalities. Neither purred at first, but as they get used to their new home their motors are coming on board bigtime.
Might be found cradled in your arms, cuddling, whispering sweet baby nothings ...
Interestingly, our one year old male, Zephyr, has also quit purring over the last several months. When he was a baby, he used to purr any time anyone got close to him. Now, however, we hear nothing. Sometimes we will notice him breathing rapidly a repeatedly, and if you put your ear against him you can hear some slight purring, but very quiet. In addition, when he is doing this, he is inhaling/exhaling must faster than the others (which have nice loud purrs).
Larry used to purr like a motor, but now his purring is a lot quieter. Monty's purring is also very quiet. But they both do this funny grunting noise, when they are all sleepy and soppy and contented, instead of purring. It sounds a bit like Professor Yaffle the very distinguished woodpecker on 'Bagpuss', and it's soooo cute. I've never had this from any other cat, yet they both do it, could it be a MC thing?
