This cute Purring Cat Guiro purrs when you stroke its back with the stick provided, although it's more like a guiro sound and less like the typical kitten purring sound but still this handmade cat guiro was hand crafted in Thailand from acacia wood. It sounds a bit disgusting but if you blow into the cats backside, it makes a whistle sound making it a two in one musical instrument that has stunning ornamental value as well as functional.
