Tonight when I was having lap time with Poppy, she made a strange rumbling purring sort of noise when I stroked her sides, and I'm not sure how to take it, or how she meant it. She seams to be the dominant one of my 3 girls, and the noise she made at me tonight is the same one she makes at the other piggies, usually accompanied by lot of "shaking her butt" which I think is called rumblestrutting. Please can someone tell me was she being aggressive, or telling me she liked it? She was completely silent and sat quietly while I stroked her head and back, and even allowed me to rub behind her ears and under her chin.
 
Sounds more like contentment :)) Sometimes they purr like a cat - one of my girls does it and almost vibrates when I touch a certain tickly spot on her back x)
Enjoy :))
 
Awww poor Poppy, I stopped every time she started doing it, just in case it was her saying she didn't like it. Ah well I can make it up to her next lap time :(|)
 
Sometimes it's their way of saying "Geroff that tickles!" Lol! If mine do that I usually stop doing it & go back to the chin tickles etc rolleyes
 
I think this is not a happy sound!

Tonight when having lap time with poppy she was quite happy for a little while, while the treats kept coming, then she got a bit restless, she climbed up onto my shoulder and settled herself in against my ear and seamed happy to stay there, I had not allowed this to happen before as she is very new to me and I was afraid she might jump off and be hurt, even tonight I kept my hand on her just in case, she stayed there for a good while then decided she wanted to investigate the back of the sofa, so I had to lift her back down on to my lap. Maybe it was this that ticked her off but she was not pleased with me, I tried to let her roam about the seats of the sofa, while I sat at the front of it on my knees so she couldn't fall off, but when I approached her with my hand to stroke her she started to bubble and rumblestrut at me, then she pranced off across the the seat, I let her go but when I thought she had gone too far I reached over to bring her back, and when I put my hand on her she SPRAYED ME WITH WEE!! I think I've got a feisty one on my hands:))
