They can. It is now thought that all cats, even "big" cats such as the tiger, that can roar, can purr. Big cats, with their specially-designed throats, can only make a purring sound when exhaling (called chuffing), and not in a constant stream like other cats.
Cats that belong to the Panthera genus are the only ones that can roar. The lion, jaguar, tiger and leopard are the only four cats in this genus are considered, as far as families go, to be the big cats.
Elephants do not roar. The sound made by an elephant is called a "Trumphet". Wild cats like a Lion or a tiger will roar and not an elephant.
No, lynxes do not roar like big cats such as lions or tigers. They are known to make a variety of vocalizations including meows, hisses, and growls.
Small cats meow as a form of communication with humans and other cats, while large cats roar as a way to establish territory and communicate with other members of their species over long distances. The vocalizations have evolved differently based on the size and social behaviors of the cats.
Cats and lions belong to the same family of animals but have different vocal abilities due to anatomical differences. Lions have a specialized larynx and vocal cords that allow them to produce the low-frequency sounds needed for roaring, which smaller cats do not possess. Smaller cats rely on other vocalizations, such as meowing and purring, to communicate.
Cheetahs can purr but cannot roar. Lions, tigers, leopards and jaguars cannot purr...they can "chuff" and they can roar.
The cheetah, cougar, snow and clouded leopards cat not roar. Only the cats in the Panthera genus can roar. These cats are the lion, leopard, tiger and jaguar.
Neither the cougar nor the cheetah can roar. This is one reason that these two wild cats are not classified as 'big cats' by many scientists.
There is a difference of opinion among scientists. Generally, only the wild cats that can roar are included in the big cats - the lion, tiger, leopard and jaguar. That excludes the cheetah, snow leopard and cougar which are not able to roar.

Cheetahs do not roar because they do not have the capability of "true" large cats. Cheetahs purr whereas big cats such as leopards,jaguars,lions, and tigers do not have the purring capability. Only these true large cats listed above can roar.
There are only four cats in the world that can roar: The Lion, Jaguar, Tiger and Leopard. These cats have specially-designed larynx's and hyoid bone in the throat that enables them to roar. No other species of cat can roar. It is now thought that all cats, even "big" cats can purr. It is unclear why cats purr, although it is well known that domestic cats purr when content, to show affection or to comfort themselves when sick or in pain.

Yes, of course. Tigers share the same sub family Pantherinae and genus Panthera as Lions, Leopards and Jaguars. These four cats are known as the "great" or "roaring" cats, as only the cats in this genus are able to roar.
