Does a purring cat mean a happy cat?

Yes it's happy, when it attacks you viciously, it is still being friendly. It's having fun. Mine doesn't stop purring. Damn cat wakes me up by head butting me, and cleaning my beard.

Oh man Garfield flashbacks.

My cat purrs loudly while playing with something she just caught. She brings home lizards, mice, birds, insects...she plays with them and rolls around on the ground purring until she kills it.

She also purrs when I pet her or when she's curled up in my lap.
