I'll start. My girlfriend's cat never purrs or does the "baking biscuits" thing even when he is clearly enjoying the cuddles.

My boxer mix gets her wires crossed sometimes and quietly growls at me when she's excited, like when she can tell by my change of clothes that we're about to go for a walk. Sometimes it startles strangers but it's hard to be scared when her tail is wagging. The best part is when the vibration of her own growl tickles her throat and sinuses enough that she makes herself sneeze.

Dogs sneeze as a way of communicating that they're playing and not a threat. She's probably letting you know she's just playing!

That's adorable. TIL, thanks.
