Why Do Cats Purr?
2. Making a Connection
Brooding mother cats will often be purring when taking care of their litter. When first born, the mother’s purring will help to reassure the blind babies that mom is there and taking care of them. It also helps to strengthen the bonds between the mother and kittens, which helps to ensure that mom does her best in bringing them up.

You should remember that brooding cats generally don’t like for their litter to be disturbed. Allow them to make a nest somewhere quiet and away from other people and pets. Mom will likely be happy to introduce her babies at some point when she feels they have grown enough.
