There are only four cats in the world that can roar: The Lion, Jaguar, Tiger and Leopard. These cats have specially-designed larynx's and hyoid bone in the throat that enables them to roar. No other species of cat can roar.
It is now thought that all cats, even "big" cats can purr. It is unclear why cats purr, although it is well known that domestic cats purr when content, to show affection or to comfort themselves when sick or in pain.
