Yes, they purr when they are happy, and comfortable. Most cats purr when they're comfortable, whether they're napping, laying in your lap or are enjoying the petting you're doing.
Some people may get scared when cats purr, if they don't know what's going on. But the cat is only comfortable and isn't posing a threat. A purr is never a bad thing. ---------- Cats will also purr when in distress or pain, and in females as a signal to its kittens.

∙ 15y agoMy experience over the years has been that cats purr mainly when they are relaxed and on the lap of someone they relate to. But they can purr over many things. Maybe you are getting a can of food ready for them: purrr-rrr-rr
Maybe you pick them up to hold them: purr-rrr-rr
Maybe they like the catnip you just put on the carpet: purr-rr-rr
But the time they don't purr is when they are upset about anything. No purring then. So your question has several answers since cats can get excited over different things and react in different ways.
Good luck with your kitty!
