In some places in the Taiwan countryside, it has been the tradition that cats are not buried after death to rest in peace, but are hung by the neck in the woods. Oddly enough, this is said to be due to the purring sound cats make when they are feeling content.
諷刺的是，讓多少貓兒在台灣鄉間死後不得入土為安屍體在林間晃蕩的罪魁，竟源於貓兒身心舒暢時所發出的呼嚕呼嚕聲。
