Is it normal for your cat never to purr but suddenly start purring a lot even if its spayed?

Cats purr for many reasons. They purr when they are content or relaxed, they purr when they are in pain, they purr while eating and female cats sometimes purr while giving birth. Both male and female cats purr. My neutered male cat purrs almost every time I pick him up. If the cat is spayed, obviously pregnancy isn't an issue. If she acts differently in other ways you might take her to the vet to be checked out but otherwise I think the purring is OK.
