Okay, this has been bugging me for awhile and I can't even find an answer anywhere. I'm wondering about the expression "murrr.." . A friend (who also is into the furry fandom) said that he believes it's the sound a fox makes, or their version of a purr. I have no idea. Figured someone on here would tell me. Really, I'm wondering where it really stemmed from because apparenly it's used everywhere with different species. |

Damn Erus you beaten me to it, but anyhow.. why noy throw what the wiki gave me eh?
Murr (Murring), though commonly misconstrued as being a sound for all animals, is a canine version of a cat's purr. It is the growling, half-moan that canines make when being scratched or played with. It is often used - by furs of many species - in role play as a sound of sexual pleasure, but the murr can be derived from any sense of pleasure, from scritches to gentle stomach rubbings.

permalinkLol - I luff that sound! Blau's parents had an old akita mix breed that used to nap with us on the floor and if you brushed him or stratched his ears he'd make that sort of sound! :3 happy puppy noises!

Wikifur should be your first stop with general questions about furry.

permalinkY'know, I actually went to www.wikipedia.org and typed in "murr" and y'know what it gave me? The name of a river in Germany.

Never once crossed my mind to check a "Wiki Fur". But, then again, I figured that there would've been additional listings for "murr" in the contents page if I was asking for something else.
