I guess many writers see the slayer as a primal thing, since its 
passed down through the generations(i.e one slayer dies, it jumps to 
the next one in line), and since we saw the first slayer being quite 
the caveman, i guess its not such a big stretch of imagination to 
imagine the slayer "force" to be a primal force aswell.


As for purring, i guess it depends on how you picture the slayer to be 
given her powers. Before the season that shall not be named, we didnt 
really have any real indication on how the slayer came to be, and if 
we go by the the theory that it is an animal spirit(again not really 
that big a stretch, we saw spirit possession in The pack, and those 
possessed were given powers that were not too far from the slayer).


Then we just have to figure out what sort of animal spirit the slayer 
would be possessed by/based on, and cat really is the thing that 
springs to mind for me:) If you were to compare Buffy to an animal, 
whitch one would you pick?:)




Anyway, as for the "explanation" in season 7, well, my personal theory 
on season 7 is that the whole season is really just the fevered dreams 
of insano-spike, and that everything after he and buffy meets up in 
lessons takes place in his subconsiousness.(did i spell that word 
right). That gives me an perfectly believeable explanation on why the 
whole season revolves around spike(he is selfcentered afterall), why 
Buffy is acting like a bitch to all her friends and only cares about 
spike, and why the origin of the slayers powers is demonic(it makes 
her more like him, so hey, another reason for them to be together).


The whole dying part in the end of the season, thats really just his 
mind adjusting to the fact that 5 seconds after buffy first saw him in 
the cellar, she staked his sorry butt, and stomped on his ashes.


Zorro.
