canine version of a cat's purr

Bit of a silly definition. I'm hoping this entry isn't a joke, is it? Mglovesfun (talk) 18:28, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

     Nice picture. I love the details on everything, and the shading is wonderful. He's very murr.

If anyone can find one more durable, CFI-meeting citation, this can be re-added. - -sche (discuss) 03:13, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

murr

Noun, verb, adjective. Supposed to be a "canine version of a cat's purr". I can see that this is used in the furry subculture (and the word could possibly be cited from Usenet) but even the furry wikis don't seem to define it this way. It's just a growly noise, not specifically tied to cats or dogs — AFAICT. Equinox ◑ 01:40, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Being furry myself I can verify that this is not specifically tied to any species, pretty much any species can do it. Then again, so can purring. —CodeCat 22:10, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

I've cited the noun and verb, and found two citations of the adjective. - -sche (discuss) 06:27, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
