purringly
With feline satisfaction
Purringly describes doing something in the manner of a cat's purr—with a low, vibrating, contented sound.
It typically characterizes speech that is soft, pleased, and self-satisfied: She purringly accepted the compliment.
The word suggests smoothness and sensual satisfaction, sometimes with undertones of smugness or seduction.
