It turns out that cats have special wiring! The wiring travels from the brain to the muscles in the voice box, and this wiring is able to vibrate the muscles so that they act as a valve for air flowing past the voice box. The muscles work both during inhalation and exhalation, which creates the impression that cats can purr continuously. The air passes through the valve, which opens and closes rapidly to create the purring sound.

Very intresting,C/B
I had a cat that couldn't purr because her voice box got crushed when she was a kitten.
Yes. I adopted her from the pound when she was just weeks old. She was scrawny, matted with oil and flea infested. I don't think the pound had bothered cleaning her up because they were planning to put her asleep. I had her for 13 years,until I had to put her at rest. She was a smart cat.
