That's purr-fect



Smokey the pet cat, officially has the LOUDEST purr ever recorded and is now entered into the Guinness World Records. Twelve-year-old Smokey from Northampton peaked at 67.7 decibels, which is about 16 times louder than a normal cat, but has been known to reach a deafening 92db – the same sound level as a hairdryer or lawnmower.

Confirming the cat's purr-themed title, a Guinness spokesperson said: "It's incredible to think a purr can be as loud as a vacuum cleaner!"
