Tigers are one of the biggest members of the cat family. So, does that mean that they 'purr' like a cat?
No, big cat species do not purr
Yes, all the species of cats' purr
Only the smaller cats—not just house cats, but also bobcats, ocelots, lynxes, cougars, and others—have what it takes to purr. In big cats—lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars—a length of tough cartilage runs up the hyoid bones to the skull. This feature prevents purring but also gives the larynx enough flexibility to produce a full- throated roar. So apparently tigers can't purr, so when they're happy they 'chuff' or chuffle instead. Also known as 'prusten', according to Wikipedia, it's a type of vocalization made only by two members of the Panthera family, the tiger and snow leopard.
