Actually, I don't think anyone knows. There's various theories as to the mechanism involved (vibration of the larynx, for one), but none of them have ever been conclusively proved.
There's quite a nice Wiki article on this at http://preview.tinyurl.com/2borrf , where they go into the details, and also what people have thought caused purring through history.

I have always wondered that myself...But it's so relaxing to sit back and hear them purr...sometimes when my cat does it, I fall asleep lol.
