IT starts with a warble, a little like a creature calling out in the jungle. Then it turns to a rumble, like a train approaching from afar, or the sound of someone revving a single-cylinder motorbike in the distance. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Er… no. It’s Merlin, the world’s loudest moggy. With a growl that can drown out the noise of a dishwasher, he has just secured a Guinness World Record for the domestic cat with the highest decibel-rated purr. It officially peaked at an impressive 67.8dB – about the same as the sound of a shower or two people holding a conversation. But no-one ever talked quite like this.

His purring is rhythmic, with breaks-—are they sure it isn’t a breathing problem?

I call my cat “Harley” (not her name) because she purrs so loudly.

The Russian upstairs has a big fat tuxedo girl kitty who never has purred once. All the other noises, but no purr. Weird cat...

Sparkle’s purr is about standard unless she is REALLY into what you are petting at the moment!

One of my cats is like that.
Thanks for the ping!

I have a little torbie kitty who makes up for her small stature with a very loud purr. Sometimes it feels like I’ve got a Boss 302 engine (the 1969 version, that is) idling in my lap!

At night each one of my 7 snores or purrs a different way. I know who he is by his purring.

I can tell my three apart both by their purr and their meow.

Looks just exactly like our “’niver” (short for Conniver).
All Niver does is destroy everything she comes in contact with. She’s a BIG, stupid, and very loving Klutz.
