What cat lover has not been intrigued by the rumbling, purring sound coming from the throat of their pet? But, according to this tale, cats did not always purr. It wasn't until old Mother Holly left her mischievous feline in charge of the household chores one day. Through a series of silly mishaps and magic, he winds up with a permanent rumble.
