Reer

To make a human sound that mimics an animal purring (especially a cat), produced by vibrating the tongue against the upper jaw, creating a purr-like resonance. Distinctively human; not a natural purr.

I reered softly while stroking the kitten.

She reered all evening after listening to the calming music.

They were reering together, enjoying the cozy fire.

Reering can be a comforting human expression similar to purring in cats.
