Although I am not a certified scientist, I study animals inside their 'minds' rather than inside their bodies or outside their bodies. Socially, cats can differentiate moods, emotions, reactions and all the sort from any breed of animal including humans. Purring, to my understanding is theoretically an act of socializing. Based on the way a cats brain functions, the more 'social' parts of the brain activate with purring. Its similar to how we can communicate to people without saying a word or doing anything and only letting off unusual sounds from our throats. Cats use purring as a social connection to other animals, and since us humans don't clearly understand each vibration formula that each cat uses - its near impossible to tell what means what. When my cat was in the hall, and my mother was in the room my cat did not know that. He made a really low grumbling purr sound, at about 100hZ or less. A sound like that could tell us, that specific frequency of purr identifies the cat is suspicious at what is behind the door. I've never heard a cat make that kind of noise, but it definitely is socially related.

Jimmy was a feral cat, he has a curly tail because his body was trapped under a rock at a very young age - he looks funny - his legs are too long for his body [...]
