Because they are screaming in pain!
Another Answer:
A cat meowing loudly does not automatically mean it is in pain. Some cats are just naturally vocal and have loud voices. Most cats will meow when they want something, such as food, attention, play, or just like to "talk". Some cats may meow when in discomfort, but many will hide this fact.
some will purr when they are happy and some will even purr when they are in extreme pain or when dying at old age.
All cats can have different sounds when they purr from loud purring that sounds like a locomotive to sounding like a pigeon. Cats have muscles in their voice box that vibrate to cause the purring sounds and most cats purr when happy.
No cats don't purr!! All cats purr. Even tigers.
It is purr, and cats purr when they are happy. Cats also purr when they are in pain to comfort themselves, but mostly it is because they are happy and they love you. Basically, to express their emotions.
Mostly, cats purr when content and satisfied. It's like a human making the sound "ahhhh" after a filling meal. Cats also purr when stressed or in pain.
All domestic cats can purr (if I'm not mistaken). However, some cats do not purr at all, just like some cats never meow.
Loud and Clear, you have a happy Bengal
No, they do not purr because they are not cats.

Some cats will purr loudly when they are cautiously investigating new environments (my own cat purrs loudest when it's exploring the back of the wardrobe). Cats may also purr after they've been startled, or after stressful episodes like being chased by a dog.
Cats purr at about 26 cycles every second.

Cats purr when they are happy. The more they purr they happier they are.
There is no illness that causes a cat to purr. Cats purr when they are happy, content, and socialized. This includes non domesticated cats.
Most people think that cats/kitten purr when they are happy. Actually cats/kittens purr when u pet them because it means they are not threatened by you it doesn't actually mean they are happy
By definition of the word, "purr", no. That is reserved for cats! :)
cats purr because they are happy and like their situation, and being comfortable is a happy situation, so the cat will purr.
