Are cats always happy when they purr?

My cat had some ticks on him and as I was tweezing them off, he was purring. Is that normal?

Cats do purr when they are content. But they also purr at other times. No one knows for sure, but research has shown that cats also purr when they are in pain or stressed in order to comfort themselves.
