jasperaliceuk Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 LOL - now I would say purring - try purring back - one of mine definitely answers! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henslaved Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 @ windy hens. Don't think it's anything to worry about. Looks to me like she's seen something she's unsure about. One of mine sometimes makes that noise if she spots the local sparrowhawk high in the sky or even an escaped helium balloon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l_ouise Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'd guess that either she has some kind of digestive issue or she is just in the habit of "inhaling" air up her bum which then has to come out again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaT Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Mine do that and I thought they were purring too! One does it when she's having a particularly nice dust bath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADOmark Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks for the comments, i'll just assume she's ok and just a new habit i'll have to put up with, but i'll be watching her closely from now on and I will try purring back maybe Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 lol yes she is purring... some do it when they are not sure of something as yours looos to be but mine do it when they are happy, sunbathing or talking to each other at bedtime nothing to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
