The cat's purring is a unique cry. It is a way for a cat to express emotions. It can also indicate its health status. Sometimes it may also indicate its hunger level. The cat's purring sound is like it is stuck in phlegm? why is that? Maybe it was because of a physical problem with the cat.

Cats purr when they are very happy, such as when their owner touches, holds, and kisses, the cat will use purr to respond to their owner's love.

From a medical perspective, the skeleton of a cat's throat is composed of thyroid cartilage and cyclic cartilage. The larynx cavity is divided into three parts, the upper part is the larynx vestibule and the tail edge is the false vocal cord. The cavity between the false vocal cord and the true vocal cord is the second part of the larynx. The third part is the cavity between the vocal cord and the cartilage ring, which is very narrow. A cat's purr is a sound that makes a sound through the resonance of the throat when the false vocal cord vibrates.

If the cat's purring sounds very strange and harsh, and the owner is not here, then send the cat to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, as there may be a respiratory problem.
