I'll start. My girlfriend's cat never purrs or does the "baking biscuits" thing even when he is clearly enjoying the cuddles.

There are so many.. we've had 8 cats together, 4 currently. One of the younger brothers has his mouth open anytime he's awake. He just walks around like that and he looks stupid, and he is stupid. Dumbest cat I've ever had.

We had him x-rayed when we got his nuts cut this year. Every vet says they can't see anything physiological that would cause this. When he eats he uses his open lower jaw as a shovel then crunches. He sleeps with his mouth closed.

Edit to add- I watched him hunt and eat a camel cricket a couple days ago. He has no problem killing with his jaw, I swear he's just stupid. The vet I last saw jokingly called him a bit below average.
