healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2021/04/09/why-do-dogs-bark-and-cats-purr.aspx Story at-a-glance Dogs use barking as an effective form of communication, both with humans and other dogs Dogs may bark to get attention or out of boredom, anxiety, pain, excitement, surprise or stress Cats may use a special “solicitation purr,” which is more urgent and less pleasant than a typical purr, as a tool to get you to feed her Cats purr when they’re content but also when they’re sick, injured or frightened Cats purr with a frequency between 25 and 150 Hertz, a sound frequency that is beneficial for improving bone density and healing, suggesting cats may purr to self-heal or self-soothe My notes: Each creature has their way of communicating. & while a bark or purr may sound similar, notice the subtleties. How do they hold their body? What were they doing?

I used to have a Devon Rex cat that acted more like a dog. She was very vocal and had a large amount of different sounds that would come from her mouth.
Our dog that we used to have was a miniature schnauzer and she was all dog! I wish I had trained her better to not bark!
We have dogs all over the neighborhood and the mama fox out back is very interested in them and will sit and watch them as they bark at her.
