Trojan Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I didn't know cheetahs could purr and miaow like domestic cats, but they can! “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter.

Domestic animals (ourselves included) show retarded maturity. The adult domestic cat retaining its purr is an example of this.

Steve May Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Cats (Felidae) are divided into two sub families, the Felinae and the Pantherinae The Felinae branch can all purr and miaow because of the shape of their larynx. They include domestic moggies and cheetahs. The Pantherinae branch contains cats like lions and tigers. They can all roar. They can actually purr as well, but only when they exhale.

Human maturity is limited compared to that of chimpanzees, it makes us more social and look more infantile. So it is with dogs compared to wolves and with domestic cats. It is not an age thing with the individual.

heartofGold Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Seren is from the Savannah family. She purrs but her miaow is like a kind of tiny strangled roar In the blink of an eye it could all be taken away. Be grateful always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
