As a start, Wolves do not belong in the family of cats. They are more "Dog" like.

Look at the Latin name. Canis Lupus (Gray Wolf). Canis is Dog, Lupus is Wolf. This makes Dog Wolf or Wolf Dog the other way round.

A cat, or the Cat family start with Felis in Latin.

This just to "easily" distinguish between the different families of species.

Cats purr, where as dogs do not.

As of being in the Dog Family, Wolves do not purr.

The cubs might make growling sounds when playing and cuddling. This might be interpreted as purring, but is not the same.

Other possibly interesting facts about Wolves and dogs.

Dogs and Wolves can interbreed.

Being so closely related they produce offspring that themselves can breed and multiply.

It is believed that our common dog(s) are in fact tamed wolves to start with.

Answer:

The last answerer was absolutely correct, wolves do not come from the CAT family at all and they are part of the DOG family so they normally do some of the things that dogs do, except roll over!
