Big kitty sounds like a riding lawn mower.

I knew cougars and cheetahs purred, but somewhere I read that was it for the big cats. Now we know they all have the capacity, at least in captivity when they can get a passing human to scratch the itchy bits.

I love that enormous paw gently guiding his hand.

A lot of chuffing in there too, which is a sign of happiness.

That makes a gentle purr.
No need to push a starter
I just rub her fur.
And when I rub in winter
Her eyes crack with a spark
And her eyes turn into headlights
When she walks out in the dark.

From my sister's Little Golden book of poetry. I think I have remembered the poem correctly, don't know who wrote it.
