It’s actually really important to understand that purring does not equal happiness. Cats will purr even when sick or injured, so don’t take purring as guarantee that your cat likes what you’re doing. Be sure to pay attention to other signals your cat is communicating as well.

They also do it to self soothe when they’re nervous or scared. So even if they don’t care if you’re in the vet room or not, a comforting scratch behind the ears never hurts.
