Best Answer

No, the word purr is a noun or verb, depending upon usage.

An adjective is a word used to describe a noun.

Examples:

The cat made a soft purr as I stroked her.

  • the noun purr is the direct object of the verb made;
  • the adjective soft describes the noun purr.

A contented cat will purr if you scratch its neck.

  • will purr is the verb, what the cat does;
  • the adjective contented describes the noun cat.
