@MigL What about larger ones?

I believe I've already told you about the baby tiger that my niece had for about a year.

Before she became a magician at the Greg Frewin Theater, she was part of the act and choreographer, and G Frewin included tigers into his stage act.
On one occasion I was invited backstage and got to pet Boomer, an 800 lbs tiger, that has since passed.
What I found incredible was that if you scratch them behind the ears, they 'purrr' just like household cats, yet the frequency is so low and loud, it actually vibrates the floorboards.

Well, actually it doesn't technically count as purring since big cats of the genus Panthera can only do it on the exhale. 😛
