Puput is so cute with his head under his arm like that! What a little sweetie!

I am Wendy from Wendy's LOLSpot responding to your comment. Unfortunately, it isn't possible for me to teach you what I do as far as the captions go. It is just the way my mind works.

However, as far as the pictures go, I belong to the Cat Blogosphere at http://www.blog.catblogosphere.com/
which is a cat blogging community.
I have obtained permission from some of the bloggers to use their pictures.

I then go to icanhasCheezburger at
http://icanhascheezburger.com/ to make the LOLs. They have what they call a LOL-Builder. It is on the Home Page, the last orange tab.
It will bring you to Step 1 which allows you to Upload your picture. Once it is uploaded, it will appear on the lower half of the page and you can caption it and then save it on your own computer.

To maintain your own page you should register on the site first.

You will likely have to play with the site a little bit to become comfortable with it. That's about all I can tell you.

Good luck!

Why Cats Purr: Healing, Comfort, Stress Relief & Attention

  1. Introduction Cats aren’t just purring because they’re happy. According to National Geographic, purring can signal a range of emotions and needs, from comfort to distress, and even an attempt to seek attention. Purring is a complex, multi-purpose behavior. 2. How Cats Create the Purr Your cat’s familiar rumble comes from rapid movement of their laryngeal muscles and vocal folds during both inhalation and exhalation. Airflow through the glottis vibrates these tissues in a neural rhythm, possibly controlled by a “purr‑oscillator” in the brain. Half‑big cats and some viverrids (like genets) can produce similar sounds, but not all big cats, such as lions or tigers, purr in this manner due to differences in throat anatomy. 3. Why Cats Purr 🔹 a) Contentment & Bonding Most commonly, cats purr when relaxed, like while being petted, cuddling, or kneading.
