My mom used to have a secretary with a toxic personality that seemed to be composed entirely of neurotic quirks. Phobias, superstitions, unique prejudices -- you name it. She was an army of one, lost in her own mental minefield.
It was known that she was no cat lover, yet people were nonetheless taken aback when she remarked, shuddering, that she couldn't stand "that awful noise they make." My mother, who's had many felines, none of them particularly vocal, was nonplussed. She must mean the yowling you hear when a cat's in heat, she decided.
A logical answer, but not the correct one. Further probing revealed that the sound so disturbing, so offensive, was ... purring.

So sad crazy lady, purring is the happiest sound in the world.
Purring is the BEST!
