Does purring cat have a mechanism to cause it to purr realistically? Does it actually make a purring sound?

Hi Mary! The cat does have a setup inside to make a purring sound. There is a bit of a learning curve to the sound device in order to produce a realistic-sounding purr. The sound maker consists of what I am guessing is a ball inside of the puppet (it's inside the puppet so it can't be seen). The ball rolls back and forth across what sounds like a ribbed surface to make a purr-like noise. Here is a link to a video by Folkmanis demonstrating the sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-UlEHOqhHA.
