Cats are cunning; they like to control their environment. Cats don’t purr for other cats; they purr for people.
A study in England tries to sort out purrs: those that show contentment; those that say “I’m hungry. Feed me.”
Do you need a computer to show the wavelengths or can you tell the difference just by listening to your cat?

I once listed "helping cats purr" as a skill on a job application.
I loved the video and the picture. One of my kitties purrs super loud when he is nervous. I set him down on the vet's table and I think you can hear hom in the waiting room!
My car never purrs when she is unhappy! She meows loud and clear for food ..when I pull her hair by accident (when combing the snarls out!) her purr is definately a contented one....when she gets in my bed for her final petting 'sesssion'!!
I am happy when my cats purr.
Thank you
