hey all, my newest little muffin Callie does this weird thing when she gets really happy. She makes a weird deep huffy noise similar to what a lion would do, i believe it's called chuffing.
Is this a good thing? lol.
She likes to put her lil paws on my shoulder and chuff in my ear and then starts purring really loudly and kind chuffs in the middle of her purrs. I think it's super cute but wanted to make sure it's normal and not a respitory thing....

Tigger has done that sometimes, kind of like he is sniffing me at the same time he is purring. But I also wanted to bump this up in case anyone else has any ideas on this. Your baby is a cutie pie!

I do it to my mommy sometimes! I am a lion btw, MOL. But even though I'm a big boy, I'm a very soft purrer and I make chuffing noises too. big grin

Coop does this, too. It almost sounds like he's skipping a breath. And it's always when he's at his most happy and purring!big grin
