Scottsmum Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 So Scottie grumbles. You can make him do it by rubbing his chest, or he'll often do it when he's sooking a cuddle off you but this last few weeks I've noticed he'll grumble in his sleep too. It's often punctuated with little sighs too... and it's not snoring. It's a purr. It's so cat like it's just not funny. Have never known a dog to do it. Anyone else?

*kirty* Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Pia my Greyhound does. :D If you touch her when she is relaxing she grumbles lol. It's the funniest noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disintegratus Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 My dobe x kelpie makes what I call "Harley noises". If you didn't know him, you'd think he was growling, but they're actually just noises of complete and utter contentment, usually accompanied by happy stretches and more moaning and groaning. He's an odd old boy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobieMum Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 My Dobie boy will make grunting noises when he's excited to see me, like when I'm taking his coat out to be put on him. They're like nothing I've ever heard before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyWal Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Stan farts, burps, sighs, yips, growls, hogs the pillows, spoons but can't say I've ever heard him purr :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristineX Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 My Irish Terrier Quin (RIP) used to purr - mind you, the room had to be quiet for it to be heard. Apparently in Irish Terriers it can be a family trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavNrott Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 My deaf little Cavalier purrs when she is lying on my chest on my bed and I gently cup her head in my hands. This is the only time she makes that purring noise. Because of my back issues I have to lie flat on my back on the bed frequently during the day. While I'm lying there reading my book she lies her body on my chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Lily, the exquisitely pretty tiny Tibbie that comes to stay,snorts to show she's happy. Her dad calls her Lily Snort Snort, which makes her snort more. I'm sure god meant her to purr, but something got lost on the way. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose of tralee Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 interesting! Late Dal made a subtle sound low in her throat which seemed to indicate contentment. Usually when we were just moving around the house together. Other family members never heard it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottsmum Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 interesting! Late Dal made a subtle sound low in her throat which seemed to indicate contentment. Usually when we were just moving around the house together. Other family members never heard it. He grumbles and sighs and you can get them out of his quite easily - a rub or a cuddle is all that's needed. But...there is also a 'pur'. Only while he's sleeping. Very hard to catch as its often while we're all in bed so i wake him reaching for my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottsmum Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 I've been trying to catch the little bugger all week but it's quite hard as he usually only does it in bed when we either have the TV on (his bed, in the lounge room) or when he's in the bed room bed and he's too far away to be audible to my phone. We're in the study tonight with the heater on and I set my phone up next to him as he was 'grumbling' ... 5 minutes later, not a peep. Take the phone away... grumble ...grumble... GRUMBLE... He's the big foot of purring canines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottsmum Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 he grumbles - and I can make him grumble with a good scratch or chest rub... But he also "purss" on his own when sleeping. too cute. :) Now, as for a barking cat...sounds interesting :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
