Cat With the Loudest Purr
A purring cat is music to the ears for most cat-lovers but for the Adams of England, their short-haired feline's purr are more like rock music to the ears.
Ruth and Mark Adams thinks that their cat, Smokey could be the world's loudest cat. According to the Telegraph, a cat normally purrs at 25 decibels which is far different from Adams cat. Smokey, a twelve year old cat reaches 92 decibels with her feline noise, making her ten times louder than the average cat. 92 decibels is equivalent to a lawnmower or hair dryer.
“When I’m on the phone friends ask what the loud noise is and they can’t believe it’s a cat. She even manages to purr while she eats. The only time she is quiet is when she’s asleep. It’s either adorable or very annoying it depends on your mood,” Ruth said in an interview.
A spokesperson for Guinness World Records added that they have a category for noisiest cat, but no entries yet. And so for official bragging rights of having the world’s loudest cat, the Adams family has sent an application to see if Smokey has the loudest purr on the planet. For now, Smokey is the world record holder.
