First of all, Metoo is not a frequent purrer. Unlike my Meatball who can start her motor by simply a pet on the head, Metoo reserves her purr to the most pleasant event, like kneading, being groomed, sleeping in my arms, etc. But I noticed that whenever I clean her eye gunk, she always purrs during the process, so I'm confused.
I know that cats can purr out of either pain or pleasure, so I'm not sure which kind of purr is this? I use q-tip to clean Metoo's eye gunk, always damp it a bit with warm water, always careful not to touch her eyes. It's a daily routine that I have beening doing for her for almost half year. So I don't think she suffers a lot. But I can't imagine it's extremely pleasant experience either. Then why does she purr?
