Answer:
I am a sound made by felines when petted.
I can be cracked, made, told, and played. What am I?
I shoot but never kills
I move very slowly. I accompany life, and survive past demise. I am viewed with esteem in many womenβs eyes.
I shrink smaller every time I take a bath.
It flows out of the soil, It burns you if it boils, And holds us in its coils, More valuable than gold, As black as it is old.
