Cats can produce a purring noise that typically indicates that the cat is happy, but can also mean they are in distress as well, but not as often. Cats also purr among other cats—for example, when a mother meets her kittens. There were many competing theories to explain how cats purr, including vibration of the cat's false vocal cords when inhaling and exhaling, the sound of blood hitting the aorta, vibration of the hyoid apparatus, or resonation directly in the lungs. But currently, it is believed that purring is a result of rhythmic impulses to the cat's larynx.
