Love it! Cheddar Purrs as well by his is more of a feel than sound purr. I had a cat that was the same way, you could feel her little motor running but rarely hear it.

Pionus tend to go ERK! and other similar type noises when they are happy. Dobby also goes eeeeerrrrr in long drawn out bits and Nerd used to make a really cute whistle trill when happy about something like a cold drink or getting ready to sleep.

I wondered if anyone else thought it sounded like a purr! My Quaker definitely does this

Rupert's isn't really audible, but he's got the rumble going when he snuggles next to you. I thought he was nervous/fearful the first time I felt it, but he does this when he's contented and snuggly. It's really adorable.
