[GZG] Re: New Toys from GZG - ones that purr

G'day,

As far as the science of purring goes, purring is in the ear of the beholder.
Depending on how technical you want to get about purring then there is a whole
load of debate of which cats can purr. If you want technical a purr is one
both inhale and exhale, which means only small
felids (domestic cat, caracal, serval, ocelot etc) can purr - with the
puma being the largest of these species. If on the other hand you want to lob
in with the "it sounds like a purr so it is a purr whether its on inhale,
exhale or both" then at least a few large cats can, including the lion,
cheetah and tiger.

You wouldn't believe the vitriol that turns up in the literature on this
one. Heaven forbid we ever run into a feline-like alien species ;)

You're just paraphrasing the name from memory, getting more than half of

the letters wrong... :-)
