Cats learn to purr from their mothers when they are little and nursing. While the kitten is nursing the mother cat purrs as a comforting sign for the kittens. It also helps them find their mother while their eyes are still closed (first 2 weeks). If the kitten is taken away or abandoned by their mother the kitten may lose its ability to purr. I have a cat that was taken away too soon and it doesn't purr. SAD!
