Bobcats purr fairly loud also. At least mine does. He isn't a big cat, though. Only 31 pounds.
Wait... what?! I wanna see a pic of you petting a bobcat! Please? I've never heard of such
Two years ago I had one run right up to the edge of my boot while I was deer hunting. I did not think to pet it..
After a moment I said, "How goes?" and it ran off.
