Yes, they can. It is now thought that all cats, even "big" cats that can roar, can purr. Big cats, with their specially-designed throats, can only make a purring sound when exhaling which is called "chuffing", and not in a constant stream like other cats.they cannot but they can chuff they can purr,but only on the ex hale. I don't think wild cats can purr; but I did hear that one can, the cheetah.

What cats can purr?

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!
