Interestingly, there's still a debate on the capability of big roaring cats with partly ossified hyoid bone like this YouTube specimen to produce true purring
Which reminds me of this Swedish research purring.org

Interesting idea, I'm not so sure though.
Many years ago I taught myself to purr for minutes at a time, difficult to get the circular breathing right though. I could get a passable sound both in the throat and upper palate as well as lips/tongue.
It really freaked out some cats.
