Smokey, a 12 year-old female British short-hair cat, has been recognised by Guinness World Records as having achieved the Loudest purr by a domestic cat at 67.7 dB (LA peak). Smokey is owned by Ruth Adams (UK) and lives at Spring Hill farm, Pitsford, Northampton, UK. Smokey is the world's loudest cat with a purr as loud as a vacuum cleaner.
Most domestic cats reach 25 decibels but she peaked at 67.7.
That is louder than people chatting (60) and not far from a lawnmower (90) or car horn (110).
It’s incredible to think that a cat’s purr can be as loud as a vacuum cleaner!
