[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Piggy purring when petting rump.

[Ann Evans]

My piggys love to have their rumps or hind quarters stroked and 
purrrrrrrrrr like crazy when I stroke them there. They will even turn 
around and beg to have the other side of their rump stroked. When the 
other cavies in the pen hear a piggy on my lap purring away they start 
weeking and begging to get lap time and stroking too. They do not like 
to have their hair stroked against the grain or the way it lays. That 
bothers them and they will kick up their hind feet and turn away from me 
and not purr. I would definetly say that purring is a happy sound. My 
piggys purr when I give them their favorite treats. It is almost like 
they are saying "yummy, thank you mommy slave".
