Purr

A few years back we pick up an amazingly pregnant stray cat off the street. She then promptly had her kittens in a box in our basement. What I remember most of those early days of "kittenhood" is how the mother cat would stretch out on the floor for the babies to nurse. The kittens would start to purr. Then, mom would start to purr. Even today, if you pat her belly she purrs. The whole lot of them would squish together on the floor and purr and let each other know they were happy.

the happy family

I think in some respects laughter is the human way to purr. There is nothing more delightful to the ears of a parent than the sound of their little ones giggling with delight. It's why tickling is such a big hit with parents. When they laugh, we laugh, and we all know that everyone's happy.
