Rumble Bug

That's what I call her. Persia is a rumble bug. She taps me and rumbles.

Enfilade...

Kumani and Tyche are purrboxes. :)

They start purring if we so much as look at them.

She climbs up on me and rumbles. She's purring all the time. Rumble,
rumble, rumble. Hey you! Pay attention, I'm rumbling! Purr, purr, purr.
Hey you! She's loud and rumbling. RRRRRRRRR. :)

She wants attention. She's purring. Hey, hey, hey, purr, purr, purr.
RRRRRRRRRR. Hello? I'm purring. Yep, purring. Pay attention.

She wants you to pat her. She wants attention. She needs to be patted.
Hello, I'm purring. I'm snuggled up against you. I'm purring and on top of
you. I'm tapping you and saying "hi". Sleepy Bye! I'll purr in your ear.
I'll tap your nose, dear. Hey, you, I'm right here!

Takayuki...

When you get a purry wet nose and whiskery snout in your ear, you're
not sure whether it's pleasant or annoying. :)

Adrian...

It's the whiskers up the nose I find annoying, but I can't be cross with
such loud purrs and I know it's not intentional.

jmcquown...

I find all of it very endearing. It means Persia thinks of me as more than
a food repository; I think she actually *likes* me ;)

Adrian...

All the cats in my life, I'm sure, liked me, I *know* Snoopy *loves* me. :-)

Kreisleriana...

It was Dante's purr that "sealed the deal." My mom noticed him in the
shelter-- a tiny bit with that funny face right up at the front of the
cage, meowing his head off (which I now know was "HEY PEEPLE! LOOKIT
ME! LOOKIT ME! HEY! LOOKIT ME!!!!")
When I took him out of the cage and held him, he snuggled right up on
my shoulder, purring away WILDLY-- if it's possible to purr wildly, he
does it. Gotcha!!!

Marina...

That's how Caliban sealed the deal with me, too. When I visited him at
his foster Mum's, he woke up, saw me standing over him, and immediately
started purring and kneading with his front paws. Then he kissed my hand
and purred. Then he climbed up my arm to my shoulder and purred in my
ear and kissed my face. Going - going - gone!

Steve Touchstone...

It was Sammy's purring that decided me to keep her when I was finding
homes for LB's kittens. Foolish me, I thought it meant that she'd be
extra cuddly. Turned out she purrs - loudly - when she's happy, but
doesn't like to cuddle much. One of my favorite things about her is
how she'll fly across the room chasing a bottle cap when we're playing
fletch, and then she come running back with it, purring the whole
time.

Kreisleriana...

Yeah, Dante, too. Pretty soon after he settled in here, he just got
WAY TOO BUSY to bother with much cuddling-- oh, BTW, he's a fetcher,
too, and brings back stuff purring.

But when he's all tired out, he will collapse-- purring-- in my lap.

The very first night Persia barged into my apartment she climbed up on the
bed and purred next to my head. Keep in mind, I had *no* idea about cats.
I only let her in because it was freezing cold outside and she insisted.
The purr-factor definitely helped win me over :)

Sammy will only get in my lap when she wants to suck her toe. As soon as
she's had sufficient sucking she hops down and then fastidiously licks her
toe dry! ;>

mlbriggs...

She is probably too busy right now to cuddle. When she gets a little
older, I'll bet she will want to cuddle, Best wishes. MLB

Cinders is very fond of licking me. I frequently end up having to
distract her, as having that raspy tongue keep licking the same place
gets painful after a while. Every once in a while, she will groom my
beard for a couple of minutes, which I allow as that doesn't hurt.

Signed,
Persia

Kreisleriana...

Dante purrs ALL the time, too. It's more of a whrrrring sound. Like

Sounds like my "rumble" rubbed a little rumble your way
