The meeting
One sunny morning, Nuk met a fluffy orange cat in the meadow.
“Hello, Cat,” said Nuk. “What’s that rumbling sound you’re making?”
The secret of purring
The cat smiled and purred, “Mrrr, mrrr, mrrr.” “That’s my purr. I purr when I’m happy,” said the cat.
“But how do you make that sound?” asked Nuk. “I can’t purr.”
How cats purr
“Inside my throat, I have special muscles,” said the cat. “They vibrate when I feel happy and safe.”
“Vibrate?” asked Nuk. “What does that mean?”
“It means shaking very fast,” explained the cat, waving its paw. “That shaking makes the purring sound.”
Sharing feelings
“So you purr when you’re happy?” asked Nuk.
“Yes! I purr when I’m happy, relaxed, or when someone I love is near. Sometimes I even purr when I’m hurt — it helps me heal faster,” said the cat.
Nuk’s thought
“That’s amazing!” said Nuk. “I can’t purr, but when I’m happy or scared, I curl into a little ball.”
“We all have our own ways to show how we feel,” purred the cat gently.
Conclusion
That night, Nuk curled up on his leaf bed and softly whispered, “Mrrr, mrrr, mrrr.” It wasn’t a real purr, but it still made him happy.
